The verses are definitely about him thinking about the relationship. I interpret the first verse as him reading a goodbye letter that the girl gave to him as she was leaving because she couldn't actually tell him face to face. Probably because she was cheating on him with another guy behind his back. In the second verse, he tells of how he thought that their relationship was perfect, and I guess he's just wondering how she could leave.. what was it that he did wrong?
Eventually, he drifts off into that sleep that you get when you're super exhausted, totally worn out from being so depressed. That's when the chorus hits. He dreams that he's walking beside an ocean, reminiscing about all the past events in the relationship (those are the silhouette dreams), and he asks God if everyone there was make believe. In other words, was everything he saw in the relationship real, or were there things that he wasn't really aware of, and maybe that's why the girl left. Was the relationship really that perfect?
The ending part is him wanting to meet with the girl again. He wants to hear that she'll love him 'til the death. He wants to know that she'll never let him go. And because she actually did leave him, he's scared to death. He's torn .. heartbroken.
This song was definitely the easiest to relate to for me. I think anyone who's been in a deep relationship that ended by the other person leaving them can relate. This is undoubtedly my favorite song off the album, if only because I can put myself exactly in the guy's shoes.
'You be the anchor that keeps my feet on the ground... I'll be the wings that keep your heart in the clouds'
