I'm sure when I was listening on the radio I heard a mixture of
"When we have got a storm to face
I forget about the race" as well as "the minute that I saw your face...".
I kind of agree with ePilgrimage, except when I heard "the sun will rise, even if you don't happen to be there" was a reference to dying, i.e. the world will carry on being even if you're dead - almost saying nobody'll miss you. I also think 'the race' could be a reference to the human race. When i listened it brought images of like absoloutley everyone racing some giant marathon, but everyone starts (and ends) at different times, and I got the impression the whole song was quite general. Then again, the end bit's the minute that I saw YOUR face, etc.
I love the way that the lyrics are well-written, so you can find them simple or puzzling, but not totally obvious and not uber-enigmatical.
