Lyric discussion by noiamnotwhereibelong 

I don't think it's necessarily about a relationship.

To me, it's about the relationship with our mother, and growing up and becoming independent.

"First we were water in creation lake" makes me think of how we all start, on a very basic level. We are all just dividing cells.

The part about "Mama's the sweetest alarm clock around"... I don't know about anyone else, but my mother was always the one who woke me up in the morning.

"Twenty four parts in a day divide me from you" is really logically easy to figure out.

There are twenty four hours in one day. Thus, she lives an hour away from her mother.

Just my take on it. To each their own.
