I agree with YYYY; I think "I lean over" is actually "I know this".

Wow. I love this song; it's really catchy, especially the part where he sings "there is water inside your heart". That one line gets in my head so easily and I'll be singing it over and over all day. Dx

Those last lines are really sad, and really sum up how I feel a lot of the time. "Forgot to be strong. Aching to shout; it wears me out." Just wanting to scream out things that need to be said, but not having enough courage or confidence to do so is just a horrible feeling. :[. That makes this song mean a lot to me despite not knowing the entire meaning; just certain lyrics stand out which can piece together the feel of the song.

I think it's just about someone who had things to say; but couldn't quite get them out right, or the other person took them the wrong way and now he knows he screwed up. I think it's just a regretful, longing song. Pretty. <3
