i think this song is about forbidden love...
wanting to keep it and trying to hold on and begging not to let go but in the end there are too many things weighing the love down and it is lost.
I see the lights are turning and I look outside
The stars are burning through this changing time
{i think these two lines refer to seeing somebody in a new and different light/way than she has before, and as time goes on stars-or little things she loves about this person-are burning bright and drawing attention to them}
It could have been anything we want
It's fine, salvation was just a passing thought
{they could've been together and been what they wanted but being saved-salvation- by eachother was just a passing moment and the thought was quickly looked past because they are 'star-crossed' lovers}
It's only a chance to pave the path we're on
{i think this is sarcastic..like oh dont worry its ONLY a chance to choose where our lives go from here}
And though they say it's possible
To me, I don't see how it's probable
{they say love conquers all but in this situation with all taht's working against them it just isn't a probability}
I see the course we're on spinning farther from what I know
{she knows everything as being one way and solid and this course, this love is leading them, spinning them off course from what they both know from whats safe...}
I'll hold on
Tell me that you won't let go
{she'll hold on tight for the ride and try to keep going but she wants confirmation she's not alone..}
And the truth is such a funny thing
With all these people
Keep on telling me
They know what's best
And what to be frightened of
{everyone is telling her the problems in the relationship-things to be frightened of...they think know what's best for her even though they aren't in the middle of it and it's based solely on stereotypical situations}
And all the rest are wrong
They know nothing about us
{they may think they know whats best but they are wrong because they don't feel the connection and they arent in the middle of it they know nothing but what they see on the outside}
This could be something beautiful
Combine our love into something wonderful
{there is potential for something amazing}
But times are tough I know
{it is rough dealing with conflicting interests of the mind and the heart..times are tough when your mind tells you somethings wrong but your heart says its right}
And the pull of what we can't give up takes hold
{the pull of safety and security keeps them from really experiencing this love and it takes a hold of them and holds them down...}

anyway that's my interpretation! input?
Mmmh...i don't think this song is about a relationship. It's much deeper than that. And btw she explained it was about global warming.
