Of course everyone interperts things according to what relates to them. I was in a long distance relationship and then she left, so this is basically how I relate to it. Even though in actuality she may have died, I don't choose to see it like that.
And you said it would be funny
to keep me hanging in suspense,
-- The girl is leaving him in suspence, by the fact that he's worried because he really loves her and he knows that she really loves him but he's so afraid of her leaving, but he knows she's going to eventually.
then I'd run over to your house
and I'd scale the chain link fence
that, borders your back yard
and that I'd climb through your window
and I'd whisper that I love you
as you fall out of your clothes
-- This is the boy reminicing about how he used to have to go through so many obstacles just to try to see her. i.e. "Scale the chain link fence" and "Climb through your window" Those aren't easy things to do. But once he gets to her, they can spend that night together and be happy. This is all in past tense by the way, and these are just his memories with her.
And we'd lay there in the darkness
like the dream of you I had
where we captured all the fireflies
and we knew what time we had
could be counted on our finger tips
that almost made you cry
you let me hold you tightly
as we said all our goodbyes
-- He's talking about laying with her, either while she's asleep or not, but he's thinking about the dreams he's had of her. But he also knows that they both don't have a lot of time together and it's keeping him awake. Since he could count the time on his fingers, he knew that there wasn't a lot of time left for them, and he held her because they were going to leave eachother soon. Still talking about the memory.
may I say I loved you more
may I say I loved you more
-- They probably did the whole "I love you" "I love you more" Thing. So eventually when she left he's saying 'I guess I did love you more' or he's just playing on the fact that that's what they used to do.
and It must have been an hour
that I clutched you in my arms
and I must of said the the right things
because you instantly felt warm
and you heard my heart stop beating
and you wanted not to cry
as your sympathetic whispers
they told a tale of bad goodbyes
-- So he's talking about anything with her, when they were running out of time, Note how he specificly puts the time in, because it's an important thing to them. They were just talking before he had to leave. They're talking to eachother and when 'his heart stopped beating' it was him starting to get really sad as they're saying goodbye. And they're both sorry that he has to leave.
and you swore you say me laughing
and I swore I saw you smile
and this time we spent together
has gone to last us quite awhile
as I take this piece of you with me
I'll carry it to my grave
knowing that for someone you're an angel sent to save
-- Now he's alone reminicing in the present talking about how he swore that they were happy together regardless of the distance. And the time they had together lasted them a long time, but now it's over for whatever reason, but he'll take whatever she gave him i.e. Memories, a physical item, or whatever and he'll have them until he dies. But he knows that she's 'an angel sent to save' so that's what he tells himself to help the pain of her not being able to see her anymore.
(Keep breathing my angel, if you go down I go down with you)
-- Even though they're not together anymore, he's just wants her to keep going, and trying to be happy but if she's going down, he's going down too. Self explanatory.
may I say I loved you more
(keep breathing, just keep breathing)
may I say I loved you more
--
lets drink to the memorys that we shared
down one to all the hopes and cares
heres too for being unaware, that your gone
because before too long you'll be a memory
-- They're both starting to drink to all their memories and time they spent on eachother
and he's still trying to understand that she's gone, and he's worried that all she'll ever be again is just a memory. /Before Too Long/ = She'll be a memory way before she was actually supposed to be one.
