I like this song very much.
This is a rather morbid song, though, in the beginning, at least.
True, but morbid.
"Please don't ask me why
True as a sky
everyone is born to die"
I think it means simply that he doesn't know why people die, but they do, and it's unavoidable.
"So take your time
but don't take mine
lose yourself but don't lose your mind"
Maybe it's because John was shot, but when I heard this line, I thought of murder.
"Take your time," like he's saying to live your life as best you can.
"but don't take mine," because no one deserves to have their life cut short like that, especially if someone just kind of decides to kill.
"lose yourself, but don't lose your mind," to me, kind of means to let your mind wander, but don't let it wander too far, or it won't find it's way back.
"you can't regret what you forget
if only you could forget it"
I think that kind of means that there's no reason to forgive if you can forget, which is almost exactly how the line is written, so I think that's pretty literal.
"somewhere out there inbetween
the moon and the sea
I'll be waiting for you, my dear,
so wait for me"
Somewhere between the moon and the sea, it sounds like a spiritual/magical kind of scene, so I can only assume by this he means something along the lines of eternity, since the first line of the song is about death.
Also, with the second half of the verse, he seems kind of scared to go it alone. Being someone who is absolutely terrified of being alone, I understand this. He would wait for his 'dear,' so he wants to be sure that she would wait for him, too.
