This is one of my favorite songs... Just gorgeous..

To me, this song represents kind of a double setup. That a partner has died, or that a relationship has been reborn, perhaps both. I think that the first half of the first verse is about a loved one commiting suicide <i>"Saw you looking so sad .. you left them all"</i> And that the second half of the first stanza is the reaction of the lover left alone .. <i>"Just realize the water is way over our heads; I dont worry much, cause I'm halfway dead"</i> Having water over your head kinda goes with the suicide thing, and having water over <b>our</b> heads definately signals that there's an unbreakable partnership there. Furthermore, the halfway dead bit can be taken to mean that a person, who is part of a couple, has lost half of themselves, id est, their partner. I think that the second bit are the questions we'd like to ask our deceased loved ones. Tell me why you were crying, tell me why you werent happy. Oh well, it doesnt matter now, that you're dead. The third section of the song tells me that the second half, committed suicide too. <i>"We took them by suprise; By leaving this place; Some thoughts we left behind; Some good and some bad"</i> <b>We</b> took them.. that tells me that in the end, both of them died, and that they left everything behind, to move onto a new life. And the song ends with a repetition of <i>"You should know; That I hold you in my arms..."</i> Which means, to me, that despite the fact that they've gone through life and death together, the couple, so to speak, will remain strong.
