I'm still a little fuzzy on the meaning, so I'll take a stab at interpreting it a little at a time.
"Did you hear me call your name?
Did you hear me call
or were your thoughts just too loud,
or were your thoughts just loud enough
for you to miss it."
1.) Sometimes, we don't pay attention in this crazy life, because we're so preoccupied with something every waking moment.
2.) Or maybe it means that someone is ignoring them when they need to convey their feelings. They feel they're being ignored, perhaps, by means of selective hearing (hearing only what you want to hear).
3.) This could be in God's point of view. This would change the entire meaning of the song -_-. I better analyze it that way as well.
"I thought you'd be listening
a little more intently for me."
This goes along more with my second assumption.
Going with the third assumption, God is trying to reach someone- He knows what He has to say will help the person.
"But I'll be here when you're ready.
Until then, just be still and breathe."
1.) When you're ready to focus fully on one thing at a time... they will be there. Be still, calm down and listen!
2.)The be still and breathe part could be like a "calm down, relax" type of message.
3.) God is always there when you're ready for Him.
"But I was screaming.
I was screaming."
Fed up, they've been trying to convey their message (whether it be God or man)
"Everything they said about you
Everything they've known was wrong."
This is what confuses me. I related it to the following:
1.) Everything that niave people think that God is and does is wrong.
"The outside doesn't feel
what the inside knows is real."
1.) People not in our religion don't feel God's love. But we do, and we know it is real, and that God is real.
"Did you see me walking back
through the same door that I left?
The same door that I left.
Why didn't you stop me if you could, stop me?"
At this time, the Christian assumption of the song's meaning is looking more and more likely. It sounds like the person is talking to God, saying that they left Him but now they've returned. They wonder why God didn't keep them from turning away from Him in the first place.
"There was something that I missed.
Probably cause I didn't want to find it.
I didn't want to find it.
Then came the arguments, now there is silence.
Just be still and breath. Be still and breath."
No clue. This defies my interpretations thus far. As does the next few lines after the chorus.
If anyone else would care to analyze this song... it would be most appreciated.
yea i think you're mostly right but the last lines:

"Everything they said about you
Everything they've know was wrong.
There's a place that they don't know
and that's where I call my home."
"Everything they said about you

means that nonbelivers in God, everything they said and everything they know is wrong about you/him (God). And a place they dont know is heaven which is where the author calls his home
