After the chorus, the lyrics sound more like "You've been talking from the heart. Saying that I have been away from life." Also I agree that it's "black heart" the second time, and "back out" the first time.

Anyone else care to actually comment on the meaning, and not just lyrics? To me, the lyrics point to a girl who is clearly depressed, not in the best of situations, and that it's only getting worse. The singer's point of view is that the girl must ignore everyone who she feels will judge her, and escape the situation rather than just hiding all her troubles away. The chorus seems to point to this, suggesting that the singer is helping to escape with her, saying they're going to a 'different place', i.e. they're getting away from the rest of society which was responsible for the girl's problems to begin with. They must escape from it quickly though, as it will only get worse ("We're sinking in the sand").

I'm not sure if I'm hearing "back out" the first time now because of seeing it here or because it's actually there. I do know that in the live version I've seen of this it was "black heart" both times. It makes sense either way though.

I agree with your interpretation of the meaning.
