Yes, I cant wait for the album either! In terms of meaning, I think the city is metaphor for a relationship

"God knows you've put your life into at times and it's both cradled you and crushed But now it's time to make your own demands" -How relationships can hurt as well as make you happy,and how you have to make your choice on whether to keep going and fighting for it

"All these years later and it's killing me Your broken records and words Ten thousand craters where it all should be" -Maybe the couple have broken up, yet this guy cant move on-"ten thousand craters"= the wreck of the relationship-but it says WHERE IT SHOULD BE-ie where the city(relationship), should be-he feels they should be together

"No need to put your words into my mouth Don't need convincing at all I love this place enough to have no doubt" So maybe the feeling is mutual, but the other person neednt justify to him the reasons for fixing things, because he knows himself that its the right thing to do.

"It's a mess It's a start It's a flowing work of art Your city, your call Every crack, every wall" about starting from the beginning, when its all new- it may be difficult but it will get more beautiful as the relationship progresses.The relationship is what youre meant for,despite the problems.

"Tell me you never wanted more than this And I will stop talking now One perfect partner, one eternal kiss" -sums it up-the relationship had to be rekindled, because they were perfect for each other, and wouldnt have been able to move on and be happy.

-Just my thoughts
