To me, they're talking about their relationship with God and how you sometimes doubt God and what His plan is, especially when something tragic happens and then realizing that it's all part of a greater plan.

"Did you think you were made for all the things That felt like a waste Or has everything led you to be What you have never foreseen" -Asking himself if he honestly believes he is here just here to be here, and if the things he's experienced have maybe led him to believe in a "higher power" (What you have never foreseen)

"Everything I see reminds me Of just how beautiful you can be I'm waiting for a feeling That would make love open my eyes Remind me I'm alive" -Saying that everything he's experienced reminds him of how God works in mysterious ways but since this "thing" (maybe in the next vurse when he talks about Seattle?) happened, whatever it was, he needs to be reminded of God's plan and reassured that it will all work out (Remind me I'm alive)

"This Seattle life, it has changed me from the inside Changed me from the inside It has magnified my cries For something more than fine"

  • When he says Seattle, he's probably referring to this "thing" that happened, and it's "changed him from the inside" and made him realize how much he longs for God's love (magnified my cries for something more than fine)

"Now we see that everything we have And everything we lack Is exactly what we need Every single day Everything we've made Has put us in this place in just this way" -Coming to the realization that no matter what you have/want/need, there's a reason behind it and that when you're in doubt God shows you there is a reason behind everything that happens.

Kind of confusing, but my mind was moving faster than my fingers.
