I kind of agree with climber boy. To me its more about how he was with someone who was obviously very special to him, but with her best interests in mind he decides to leave her, so she can flourish, etc –
"Return this flower to the dirt,
So it can live
I walk away now."
While he knows it’s what’s best for her, it still saddens him and he regrets it and wishes he could be with her-
"Not a day goes by that I don’t feel its spurn.
There’s a point we pass from which we can’t return.
All because of you
I haven't slept in so long
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean
longing for the shore
where i can lay my head down
ill follow your voice
all you have to do is shout it out"
but there is still a bright side - she's given him hope, maybe hope that he will find love, or at least hope that his life will lead him to some joy-
"All because of you,
I believe in angels
Not the kind with wings
No, not the kind with halos
the kind that bring you home
when home becomes a strange place"
Just my $0.02. Definitely one of if not my favorite song on the new album.
