"I am a million pieces of the sky
I found a way to be alone
I'm gonna wait until you want me
Until you finally decide to go home"
I'm thinking of it as if he's going on a break with a girl. It just makes a lot more sense to me this way. He's found a way to be alone, they go on a break, but the fact that he says he's going to wait until she wants him just shows you that he doesn't want to be alone. The girl wants to work on herself because whatever she's doing is just causing trouble and she's the one that initiated the break because he says that he's going to wait for her. Unless he initiates it and wants her to work on herself and then come back to home.
Home symbolizes his persona. He's the home, the shelter and keeps her safe. He's the one that she needs, but she just doesn't realize it because the stress in the relationship is something she can't handle so she leaves. (Imagine a teenager that leaves his house because his parents are stressing him out, but he thinks what he knows is best when in fact, his parents that care for him know what's best and they're waiting for him at home.
"Diamond, diamond are you all in the sky?
I can't believe all of these beautiful lies
As they surround me I will take a photograph of the sky
Bury me, bury me
Come on, bury me alone in the light"
Diamonds in the sky could symbolize other girls, the gem that he's searching for. He's asking if they're all in the sky because he's on the ground and has bad luck with girls and them not working out with the relationship. He's calling out to them and just wants someone that stays true because the past relationships have been a lie. Taking a photograph of the sky would mean keeping what he sees forever. He just wants to stay in the light forever with the diamond that surrounds him.
"I am, I'm gonna run this like a lion
Another way to be alone
And I will wait until you find me
Until you finally decide to go home
(Don't go home! Don't go home!)"
A lion symbolizes strength, him "running this like a lion" means that he's going to be strong throughout everything that's going on. That means not running back to her and leaving her alone. Being the strong one is a way he's staying alone, when you're strong, you can't communicate with the girl, you just have to miss her. When he says "I will wait until you find me" it sounds to me like she actually leaves him, and blames him for what happened in the song. He still loves her and will still wait until he comes to her. That's just how strong his love is for her. But logically, he knows that he if does take her back, things won't work out, he's just so emotionally drawn to her and cares for her (Don't go home!).
"I've never had a reason to take me away, yeah
I want it to be over
But I sit here and wait
I saw her smiling from the top of the world
I saw her sleeping on, amazing I know
If you lower, lower, lower me down
You lower me clearly, so come and lower me"
He's never had a reason to take himself out of the relationship because he's always optimistic and knows things are going to work out no matter what. He's so passionate for this person. All he wants is the struggle to leave, but it doesn't and the only thing he can do is wait. She's obviously happy because she's smiling on top of the world and he's sitting there waiting for her. It hurts him to see that. The one he is passionate for leaves him, and she's there with another guy, sleeping on him feeling happy. She lowered him down from where he was before the relationship started, and it doesn't bother him, so that's why he says to come and lower him.
This song can tie directly into the song following it. Cemetery Weather. In that song, she leaves him and the guy she's now dating, makes her happy, but treats her the wrong way because he's all caught up in himself and is selfish. After all of this, he still wants to care for her and show her love. Not some quick fix. He knows he can make things last, she just needs to believe it.
Aiden, I'm pretty sure you've got it right.
