Thank you Beccarose, for getting the lyrics RIGHT!!!!

I always thought this song was about a man who has done something to hurt his wife (cheating?), and now she is considering leaving him and all he wants, is for her to reconsider.

Somewhere, far away from here I saw stars, stars that I could reach (yeah) It was a midnight, a silent twilight Fell down, beyond the ocean beach (yeah)

This could be describing the night he cheated.

i assemble all the sand that cover wedding beaches to build a castle so your mom would have a place to stay

He's reminding her of the good things he did for her while they were married, before he cheated.

behind the waterslide and down the hill where heaven reaches land and time is left to float away

This is his interperatation of their perfect house and perfect life, before everything was ruined by his infidelity.

so rest assured i have the key to every opening to every wishing well that's deep enough to dream

Telling her that if they do divorce, it's his house and there is no way he is letting a her new man live in it.

i want to show you just how fascinating kissing is when earth collides with all the space between

He is trying to get her to forget about everything and forgive him.

i’m reaching farther than i ever have before

He's trying harder than he ever has before to make her happy and be there for her.

leaving all who broke your heart upon the shore

He's promising to never see the women that he slept with ever again, him and his wife can just sail off into happiness together

i may be some sort of crazy we may be some sort of crazy but i swear on everything i have and more

people may say they're crazy to try to work it out, but he swears that he wants to make it work.

so never look behind you spooky people bring you down

Proving how much he knows about her.

the world is ending... there's a party by the bay i'll wear my suit and tie we're eye to eye and toasting to the way you put that smile upon my face

I think this is about him being unhappy about going to court to get the divorce(the world is ending for him, he has nothing more to live for)

fill up the air balloon and ride with me when hell is jealous of the rain make love like time and space is ending while befriending fates alluring way of putting us to shame

His one last ditch effort to get her to stay with him.

you make the sound of pulling heaven down you brought the rain's romantic pour

Her crying hurts him so much, that it is like someone pulling heaven down.
