This song gave me the chills when I heard an acoustic version of it because i could really focus and the lyrics. I agree with blackat16. It reminds me of my own struggles.
To me, this is a story about two people who push everyone away. "They can't love me, they can't love what they don't show" That's the exact kind of problem people have with their own families.
one more day down these stairs
his room is cold now and it hurts like hell
he holds tight, he stares
it�s almost over and it�s running through his head
they don�t know me
they don�t know more than i show
To me, the loneliness comes from broken ties with the people who should love you-- your family. And then it leaves you broken. And these two people are looking for something in each other to fill what they've lost in their own lives. "but wait, this one's different cause she's lonely"-- they need each other.
But even though these people hurt the same way, anything between them won't work out because they can't open up.
and you�ve heard me say that i can cure you
this morning i woke up with this overwhelming fear of love
and i�m not sure if i can resurrect you
Like all of you said, the whole empty words without actions comes into play, when they realize they can't fix each other, because they're scared of the very same thing--Love.
So sad. Heartbreaking in its own sense of irony.
When I first listened to the lyrics in this song, I thought they were about two people (the guy in the first verse and the girl in the second) who normally sleep around with lots of different people, but then they find each other, and they want to "fold their wings." In other words, they are actually falling in love rather than lust.

The last chorus when it switches from third to first person caught me off guard. At first, I believed that the narrator was the guy from the first verse the whole time, but when I...
The last chorus when it switches from third to first person caught me off guard. At first, I believed that the narrator was the guy from the first verse the whole time, but when I thought about it, I thought that the singer was using all the other verses and choruses to make a point to someone he cares about. Someone he want to let know that he doesn't only lust her, but loves her.
This is kind of a different view than the other ideas that have been posted, but my friend and I discussed it for an hour or so, and this is the conclusion we came up with. I like all the ideas that have been posted on here, especially blackat16's. The greatest part about it, though, is that none of us are right. Each individual will get something different out of the song, and that's what, ultimately, makes it such a wonderful song.
