then 2nd line is:
"wild and fierce and so far reaching"
and the line 8th line is actually:
"comforting, gradually burying"
personally, i feel this song deals heavily with the point in a relationship in which one questions whether they want to be in the relationship or not. the lyrics range from romantic to very stark and cold, the chorus consists solely of "i don't know what...i don't know" which is almost verbatim what conversations consist of when the confused parner tries to explain themselves.
the pre-choruses metaphorically demonstrate the extremities of feelings (float vs. sink, mountain peak vs. deep valley) either for the partner or for the relationship itself.
however, the ending could vary in meaning:
1)he could be claiming that he has the heart of cold and it is hindered by the "winter rain" (relationship/coldness of love/the cycles of their love, like seasons, from warm/hot to cold/numb) and he could be saying to himself to "turn and go, don't wander in this storm again" in which wandering in the storm obviously represents the relationship.
or
2)he could be saying to his lover that her heart cannot glisten (love cannot blossom) in his winter rain (cycling depression) and thus, tells her to "turn and go, don't wander in this storm again" in which the storm symbolizes his mixed emotions.
my favorite line is:
"your arms are the earth folding up around me; comforting, gradually burying"
this fully exhibits his/her feelings toward their partner in which they adore the feeling of their embrace but the affection of their partner, which far exceeds his/her own, brings about waves of guilt, 'gradually burying'
there are a few mistakes to these lyrics:
