My mom and I listened to the song a lot, trying to think of what the song could be, and I turned up the song really loud in my room to hear the quiet parts (I never could hear them though...)
The "All I ever wanted to know was that you were sleeping", was that someone important to the singer, a grown up person or a baby, died and the singer wished the person hadn't. Or it was a baby that died, or people thought the person or baby would die, but he/she didn't.
Though at the end, I was really sad and cried because it seemed like the person or baby did die.
The "never change, never stop", I thought was the singer telling someone that they were fine the way they were, and that person was a good person, but he/she changed a lot and so the singer thought that nothing mattered anymore.
The "drowning in the sea of love" I think is like doing anything for someone you love, or loving someone enough to die for them but for some reason "it's gone", as if no one loves or cares anymore, maybe.
I also really thought that the "build your house" part was about a mom talking to her child, telling her/him that even when they grew up she would always be around and would come visit, not in a prying parent sort of way, but a loving, supportive way.
My name is Sarah, and my mom told me that she always thought of me when she listened to this song, and she told me not to change. I thought that I would keep being a good person and be kind to people.
Anyway, that's just my thoughts and interpretation on the song!
@Serasia so... it’s actually “all I ever wanted was to know that you were dreaming”. Also, a baby did die. The song was loosely based off of the abortion that Stevie Nicks had. The build your house part is about Don Henley, who “the singer” (aka Stevie nicks) was dating at the time.
