The reference to cracks is so effective - on one level the literal visual metaphor and then the connotation of stepping on cracks and bad luck- But she really gets her message across with the emphasis on the "cracks not counting" she will love bravely even when she sees little signs, signals, the cracks of their relationship (the "distant look" in the eyes, the "words you could never say) She loves blindly, she refuses to see the cracks, but somehow she "always knew" this is also so relatable. Every turn in the lyrics and music of this song is just superb. And I bet the "it's breaking" part will come out even moreso in the studio album version.
