"How stubborn are the scars when they won't fade away?
Or just a gentle reminder that now are better days?"
Clear reference to past days of self harm.
"We'll be home soon, so dry your eyes
You'll be okay,
You'll be okay"
Unsure as to who he is speaking to, it could be his sub conscience or speaking directly to presumably a female.
"Oh My God
The water is rising, its rising
You just have to believe in me
Failing that I'll ride this storm alone
We can still make it out
FUCK"
I interpreted this as a panic-striken. He/She/It is falling rapidly and is desperate need of aid. Which quickly turns into a self-motivated attempt to start thinking positively.
"I can help you through this
But you have to take my hand
I can take you home
Take my hand
Take my hand"
Because of this I know presume that he is speaking to someone else, but there is still the possibility he is on the recieving end.
"I should've known the tides are getting higher
We can still survive
They think we're drowning but our heads are still above the waves
Above the waves"
I believe this is trying to say; "How could I have been so naive? Don't worry, there is still time to make this right" i.e our "heads are still above the waves"
I should've known the tides are getting higher
We can still survive
Above the waves
I should've known the tides are getting higher
I should've known the tides are getting higher
We can still survive
"You never said goodbye (Goodbye)
You never said goodbye (Goodbye)
You never said goodbye (Goodbye)
You never said goodbye (Goodbye)"
Now it's clear that he is speaking to someone else, possibly about a girl that has left him, or someone that has passed away.
"And now your on your own"
Reinforces the possibility that is is a girl who left him, and inciting that her life has taken a turn for the worst; e.g due to the break up she lost friends etc.
You never said goodbye
You never said goodbye
"Goodbye."
He finally ends it, thus the end of the song. He moves on from what she did to him.
My thoughts, I'm sure there are plenty who disagree and will voice their opinion about it.
