This is what this song means to me. I think the song is two viewpoints. A boy at first, then it switches to a girl, and then back. The boy and the girl are dating, perhaps they were friends before, so they know everything about each other. This part, "If you call this love, then show me some feeling and if it all goes numb, just keep on breathing." Would be the boy telling the girl to show more feeling in their relationship instead of giving up. The next part is where I imagine the switching of viewpoints to be, "I'll watch you falling from (I actually hear "Falling FOR me") me, When you hit the ground, maybe you'll see, The only way to fall is down." So it's the girl watching the boy fall in love with her, but she's been hurt by love before and knows that falling for someone can only hurt you.
Then it switches back to the boy, "I'll be up in the stars, I'll be anywhere you are. just say you need me and I'll come down." He tells her that he'd do anything or go anywhere for her.
It's a relationship that should be beautiful and there is still hope for it, but they'll have to work on it.
"Oh, you know there's still a ways to go, so don't start retreating
No, you just gotta take it slow
When you're lost and all out of breath just call and I'll come running baby"

yep, I hear "falling FOR me", instead of "falling FROM me", and makes much more sense.
