To me, there are some subtle differences in the verses. Here's my take:
Don't drink when you're tired,
just watch those gems
catch everything
like the light.
Oh what we become,
we never move.
Just lost and loose
like the light.
Hey (hey)
as she keeps you
and she feeds you
you wonder how we could ever get back.
Why would we?
Stay inside.
Stay inside
scared and locked,
we'll never come out.
Don't drink when you're tired,
watch those gems
catch everything
like the light.
Oh what we become,
we never move;
just lost and loose
like the light...
right...
as she keeps you
she leaves you.
I wonder how we could ever get back.
What were we
supposed to do?
Stay inside
scared and locked,
we'll never come out?
We never make any money
why would we try, oooh,
bear us away on a wing, on the wind.
Why?
As she keeps you
she leaves you
now how we could ever get back
WHY WOULD WE?
Supposed to
stay inside,
scared and locked,
we'll never come out.
We'll never come out.
We'll never come out.
I hear a song about a man and a woman getting together, getting married, and settling into a simple little comfortable life. They make enough money to be comfortable, but everything has been lost in that pursuit of comfort (the gems catch everything like the light). As they fall into their domestic roles (she keeps you, she feeds you) they lose the passion in their relationship (we never move; as she keeps you she leaves you) and the man wonders how they could ever get it back. But why would they abandon this comfort for the pain and struggle of passion? They feel they're suppose to stay inside, scared, locked in and never going out -- both literally (never going out) and figuratively (never leaving the comfortable confines of the roles they've defined for one another).
