first off let me say this is a wonderful song the foo fighters are simply amazing. Definitely one of the last good rock bands. The song is a love song no doubt , but i believe it goes way in more dept then that. i believe somehow life has gotten in the way of their relationship. so dave grohl paints a picture of what their relationship would be like if only this world was , how it should be , much more simpler.if only her and him could be together without the complexity of everyday life. no laws , no bills , no jobs ...
"Let's say we take this town
I believe these lyrics are just used to paint a picture of a purer time like I stated before a empty town where no one could interfere with their love.
“No king or queen of any state”
this reminds me of medieval days. And how much better life would be if we could just stop and again a beautiful day , a river , maybe just the sun. life will be over before you know it and what did you do work your life away for things you really didn’t need in the end.
“Get up to shut it down”
no clue im guessing it just sounded good in the song
“Open the streets and raise the gates”
Just shows happiness and pride of how no one else will ever ruin their relationship. Picture a man who has just lost the love of his life. He’s sitting in a dark room , crying with a bottle of jack in his hands. Prayer if only they would have lived in a better place everything would of worked out. The price will pay for becoming less human everyday is forgetting how to love.
“I know one wall to scale”
An obstacle he wants to over come. Something that stood in the way of their love. Money maybe. Or distances or maybe temptation
“I know a field without a name”
why don’t we name fields? Because fields are not of importance. But they are sure as hell beautiful .
“Head on without a care”
we would all be different people with out stress and pressure. We worry about the little things looks, money and forget about the big picture family, having someone who loves you.
“Before it's way too late"
I think these lyrics speak for themselves you have to be getting tired of my rambling by now.
he must of made a mistake , but doesnt blame himself he believe that life has gotten in the way of their relationship.
"Running through hell, heaven can wait"
Obliviously means you have to get through the bad times to get to the good ones. ( but it reminds me of a man who choices hell over heaven. maybe his love was doomed to hell and he choices enternal pain and suffering to be with her.)
"For every piece to fall in place
this means for love to work out everything has to be perfect. it truly shows just how fragile true love exactly is. A rose?
"Forever gone without a trace"
you always say you will love someone forever. You’ll love them until the end of time. How many people have you said this too? And how many times has forever been gone with out a trace?
“Your horizon takes its shape”
He’s starting to realize he isnt going to be part of her future. A girl he loved, is going to be able to be happy again without him. He’ll remember her everyday , two years from now she won’t even remember his name.
“No turning back, don't turn that page"
Don’t turn the next page in the story of her life . don’t start a new chapter , because he’s not a part of the next chapter of her life.
These are just my interpretation of some lyrics for this song. But what I love is that someone could read the same lyrics and think something completely different. that’s what makes music so great.

@even_love_can_die 'Get up to shut it down'....right after that King and Queen reference is clearly an anti-government anti-establishment statement.
