I think it's about somebody who is caught in an illusion, with their head up in the clouds. The broken bed bit makes me think that this person is in a broken relationship, that they are in because of high ideals in their spouse, and they're not seeing it from a grounded point of view. Basically they are in a crappy relationship, and the singer wants them to come back down to earth so that they can have a friendship. He wants his friend to "see him", because they're ignoring him for their bf or gf who isn't good for them. And he also wants to be their eyes so that he can make them see what they are doing to themselves. "Head on the ground, feeling what you've seen" suggests crying and hurt. I almost think that "grass on your back been hanging in the air" could mean they are falling down, maybe being pushed down by this relationship, but it's hanging in the air because it's not being confronted. So they are in this relationship idealizing and not facing the problems, just ignoring them. Typical relationship, really. He wants them to come back and "sing" what they've seen, and by thus doing they would be seeing it for what it is and sharing the experience and expressing it rather than supressing the issue. He wants to scope them out because he wants to dig into the problem and find out what's going on with them. Maybe the "touch your lips" part means he wants to give them a voice to stand up for themselves. And the end "I wanna see you drifting overhead" is a kind of turn on the events, because in this case the overhead is not in a cloud or dream, but he wants to see them rise up over the problems they are having and be on top of the world again.
