Can you feel it?
Now it's coming back we can steal it.
If we bridge this gap,
I can see you
Through the curtains of the waterfall.
When I lost it,
Yeah you held my hand,
But I tossed it,
Didn't understand,
You were waiting,
As I dove into the waterfall.
So say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Can you feel my love?
Bombs away,
Bombs away,
Bombs away.
Can you feel my love?
Bombs away,
Bombs away,
Bombs away,
Say Geronimo!
Well we rushed it,
Moving away to fast.
That we crushed it,
But it's in the past.
We can make this leap,
Through the curtains of the waterfall.
So Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Can you feel my love?
Bombs away,
Bombs away,
Bombs away.
Can you feel my love?
Bombs away,
Bombs away,
Bombs away.
Well I'm just a boy,
With a broken toy,
All lost and coy,
At the curtains of the waterfall.
So it's here I stand,
As a broken man,
But I've found my friend,
At the curtains of the waterfall.
Now I'm falling down,
Through the crashing sound.
And you've come around,
At the curtains of the waterfall.
And you rushed to me,
And it sets us free.
So I fall to my knees,
At the curtains of the waterfall.
So Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Can you feel (Say Geronimo!) my love?
Bombs away! (Say Geronimo!)
Can you feel (make this leap) my love? Make this leap.
Can you feel my love?
Now it's coming back we can steal it.
If we bridge this gap,
I can see you
Through the curtains of the waterfall.
Yeah you held my hand,
But I tossed it,
Didn't understand,
You were waiting,
As I dove into the waterfall.
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Bombs away,
Bombs away,
Bombs away.
Can you feel my love?
Bombs away,
Bombs away,
Bombs away,
Say Geronimo!
Moving away to fast.
That we crushed it,
But it's in the past.
We can make this leap,
Through the curtains of the waterfall.
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Bombs away,
Bombs away,
Bombs away.
Can you feel my love?
Bombs away,
Bombs away,
Bombs away.
With a broken toy,
All lost and coy,
At the curtains of the waterfall.
So it's here I stand,
As a broken man,
But I've found my friend,
At the curtains of the waterfall.
Through the crashing sound.
And you've come around,
At the curtains of the waterfall.
And it sets us free.
So I fall to my knees,
At the curtains of the waterfall.
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Bombs away! (Say Geronimo!)
Can you feel (make this leap) my love? Make this leap.
Can you feel my love?

All right well I know it's kind of obvious but whatever. I think that he's talking to a friend about how he loves her and he never saw it before how she was always there for him. And he's saying how it might be a leap of faith or kinda crazy but he loves her. No idea what's going on in the video though.
I once dated a woman. The romance took off. It was amazing. I said or did something to offend her, and everything just fell apart. To this day I do not completely understand the situation, I attempted to discuss it with her but the dialogue was filled with circular reasoning and it made zero sense. The gap between us was impossible to bridge.
When I listen to this song, it is a summation of the relationship. And frankly, a real summary of what it is like to date a narcissist. Now, this is pure speculation, but the relationships with narcissists are impossible. You can see where you need to get to, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to get them there. They rely, largely, on charm and emotional manipulation. And, this is often called "love bombing." Relationships are marked by moving ENTIRELY too fast.
To me, that's what this song is about. He is falling to his knees at the curtain of the waterfall - surrendering, he wants the relationship he can so clearly see back, but he can't get to it. And, I don't think there is any irony in the intertwining of feeling love coupled with the chorus of "bombs away."
This song is a great Aussie tune reacting to nothing more than taking the leap together into a relationship.
