To me this is about two people that have are locked in a wicked love game. They are both in love but not together and are both angry at each other for things they've done to each other.
"This is where our diligence has led
The waves roll in to claim our patient steps"
They have been in this game for a long time
"Can we become more than just ourselves?
And leave the sand our want, our will, our doubt?"
Will they ever get over themselves and finally be together?
"It's firefight, I won't run"
He is done running from everything and will stay and fight, and everything that has built up is going to come out of both of them in a passionate explosion, letting out everything the other has done that has hurt them.
"There's spit and spite all through my blood"
He is very angry and spiteful about everything she has done to him
"For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive"
They can't hide from each other any more. No one else matters at this point it's just him and her.
"This is now the moment after next"
time is continuing to slip away and they are still not together
"Are these still the eyes of a temptress?"
She hurt him in the past. She lured him in and ripped his heart out. Would she do it again?
"Why open a door when you won't go?"
She is threatening to let go and move on, but she isn't going anywhere.
"Don't ask twice if you don't wanna know"
He is saying to her not to act like she wants to try again if she is going to let go. don't make him think she is in it to the end if she isn't going to stay to find out if they are destined for each other.
"Is there an answer?
And if it's an honest one, honestly worth it's question
There's no question"
He just wants her to be honest and he will forgive her
"The city as my witness
I am who I wanna be, but you could be anything
Just be anything and here with me"
He knows what he wants, he just wants her.
"Love is quartz and breath the second hand"
Just as quartz is what provides the small bit of power to move the second hand in a watch, their love is all that keeps him breathing.
"If you let go then that's where time will stand"
If she gives up on them and moves on he will be lost in the past. he will never be able to let her go.
This is just my interpretation and what I hear when I listen to this song. I am not saying I am right, because I don't think there is a correct interpretation of a song. How the song relates to your own life is generally how you will interpret a song and different people lead different lives and encounter different situations. This song just really seems to speak to my present situation...
