First off, he rfers to singer. She refers to the lover (my guessing)
Okay, this is MY interpretation of the song:
I know you can't recall anything at all or why were're standing here.
This could mean he understands why she doesn't remember why she is with him. This alone can mean that they had some rough times.
The day you figure out your words had crumbled just below your feet.
This could resemble how when she finally DID know for certain that she wanted to be with him, he was tired of waiting and gave up on her, leaving her behind.
This is how a mountain gathers, purposely directed shadows.
The "mountain" could represent the stress and pain they had ignored (refering to the "shadows") and how they should have delt with the problem earlier, but now it is to late.
This sinking ship has information that will tear us a part
The sinking ship MAY refer to a secret that HE is holding, or she, that the other does not know sbout, and could be the cause for the "mountain"
Along the way we learn things too hard.
VERY self explanatory. They are learning about love the hard way, when it could have been easier.
Whisper out the way to stop my heart.
I agree, this refers to her giving up when they could fix the problem, leaving him heartbroken.
The things you used to say before the day I used to care at all.
He remembers maybe how she said she cared about him and loved him, and it mean something to him, but not anymore.
It's in the fingertips, I caught you looking; hazing down on me.
by "looking", it could refer to her cheating, or moving on to a different guy. This leaves him unsure of what to do, (hazing meaning unsure, cloudy, not foreseen), and how he didn't expect things to happen that way.
Like I said, it is JUST a theory, but here it is in a nutshell:
Boy finds out Girl did something terrible.
Girl moves on to different guy.
Boy ignores it, but stress builds up.
Girl asks for Boy back. Boy says No.
Girl is left heartbroken.
Boy doesn't want to give up because he still loves her and doesn't want to be heartbroken,
But he learns the hard way about love,
and it was too late.
I hope that was of SOME use. Like I said, only a theory.
And if it WAS about a funeral, he wouldn't talk as though there was still hope. Just saying.
