This may very well not be the message that Lifehouse was trying to get across, but this is what it means to me in the way that i can relate so much of it to myself.
It seems to be about a guy who's going through the hardest struggle of his life. an internal storm and he doesn't know how much longer he can take it. i think he loves someone. he loves someone so dearly but she doesn't feel the same. for whatever reason that they are not together he still loves her more than his heart can comprehend and it's killing him because his love is the only thing keeping him alive but she doesn't feel the same. She never meant to hurt him "i know you didn't mean to bring me out here to drown, so why am i ten feet inder and upside down?". even though she never intended to hurt him, he can't get over it. The only thing that could make things better is if she changed her feelings, if she could see him. it's the only thing and it could be so simple to make things alright. he is wishing that a miracle could happen to make things alright again "and i will walk on water." If there were miracles then things would play out right. she would catch him if he fell, he'd get lost in her eyes, and things would happen as they were meant to be. It could all be so simple, but it seems like such a distant miracle. There will only ever be one way out of this storm.
