Of course, this song will mean different things to different people based on their own perception and experiences; but to me, this song is about a guy and a girl. It's a giving. They knew eachother for a while before perhaps, but maybe something happened and he ended up hurting her and losing contact for a long time. Then he shows up randomly in her life again, and this song describes the emotions he is feeling in that situation. In detail:
"The drops of rain they fall all over
This awkward silence makes me crazy
The glow inside burns light upon her
I'll try to kiss you if you let me
(this can't be the end)"
-I believe this part is explaining the initial first meeting again. Neither of them are sure how to react to eachother at first, because of what happened in the past between them. The awkward silence and nervousness is making him crazy. But then, there is this moment where everything stops, and she looks at him. He notices a new glow about her, even though he can tell she has been sad also. The glow and sadness he sees in her in that moment makes him want to kiss her, but he is not sure if she would let him. (This can't be the end) Is him regretting what happened in the past. He wants to start over. He does not want this to be the end of everything they once had, and everything he knows they could be if she gave him a second chance.
"Tidal waves they rip right through me
Tears from eyes worn cold and sad
Pick me up now, I need you so bad"
This part is a more intense feeling. After the initial thoughts and feelings, he starts to be overwhelmed by them. (The tidal waves represent his emotions. The "rip right through me" is saying how he can't stop the feelings. They just well up from the start, and start surging through him uncontrollably.) He notices her eyes, and how they have changed. They are more worn. Weathered. He sees and almost feels her sadness as well. He wants her to pick him up, because he has been through some crazy times, too. He has changed, and become sad also. Once he realizes she has been the same, he knows in an instant that he needs her. And I believe he can clearly feel she needs him, too.
"Your vows of silence fall all over
The look in your eyes makes me crazy
I feel the darkness break upon her
I'll take you over if you let me
(You did this)"
This part represents the silence again. After noticing the look in her eyes, and how she has changed, it drives him crazy. She seems lost in thought and is experiencing the hurt all over again, hence the sudden darkness. He wants to hold her. He wants to have her. He wants to keep her, and save her. Because he knows that the sudden darkness was caused by him, and he regrets it so badly. And the "down" part ties in here, too. The whole situation is making him down because he knows her pain was his fault. He wants so badly to tell her how much he has changed, too. How much he really wants to be with her, but he can't because he is not sure she would believe him even if he did. (That is why he wants to kiss her. He knows he probably wouldn't be able to talk about it without crying, and just wants to kiss her to show her instead. Hoping his emotions would pass through her like hers were passing through him. He was hoping a kiss would let her know without saying anything, and make everything okay again.)
