Waiting by the mailbox, by the train
Passing by the hills 'til I hear the name
Looking for a saw to cut the chains in half and all I want
Is someone to rely on this
Thunder comes a roaring down
Someone to rely on this
Lighting comes a-staring in again
In this situation, I think that the woman is waiting for some news of the man. She wants to cut her losses and move on, but she can't bring herself to do it because she loves him. But, at the same time, she knows that he's bad for her because she can't rely on him for whatever reason (drugs? immaturity?)
I'll wait to be forgiven, maybe I never will
My star has left me to take the bitter pill
That shattered feeling well the cause of its a lesson learned
Just don't know if I can roll into the sea again
Just don't know if I can do it all again, she said, 'it's true'
On the other side of the song, the guy knows that he's screwed something up with this girl. He understands that she's trying to move on for her own good and he's feeling it, but he can't bear to just move away from her as well.
Went into my room and I locked the door
Watched the colored animals cross the floor
But I look on from a distance and I'm listening to the whispers
And oh it ain't the same when you've fallen outta feeling
And you're rolling in and caught again
Now the girl is getting a little more unhinged by the situation. She has to lock herself up to make sense of what's happening to her relationship, but all she can hear are "the whispers" of what people are telling her to do. She feels like she's losing the man, but at the same time, she can't bring herself back to him because she's "fallen out of feeling."
I'm caught again in the mystery
You're by my side, but are you still with me?
The answers somewhere deep in it
I'm sorry that you're feeling it
But I just have to tell you that I love you so much these days
Have to tell you that I love you so much these days, it's true
The man may have her back with him, but she's not fully emotionally invested in the relationship because of what's happened to them in the past. He wants things to be like they were again and he knows that they can't be. He can see that "the answer's somewhere deep in it" and he doesn't want her to be "feeling it." It being the repercussions of his actions. All he can do is tell her he loves her and wait for time to patch things up.
My heart is an economy, due to this autonomy
Rolling in and caught again
Because it's free again, the man's heart (and possibly the woman's) are divided between a lot of different areas. Sort of the same sentiment as Blur's Out of Time. "And you've been so busy lately/That you haven't found the time..." They could move on, but at the same time, they don't want to lose the other. Their hearts are divided due to their freedom.
