Although the first time I heard this song was while I was watching Vampire Diaries (the break up scene) I can't really relate it too love or break ups. For me, this song is about losing grip with reality and dreams fading away.
"I shot for the sky, I'm stuck on the ground so why did I try, i know I'm gonna fall down. I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?" this shows the dreams a person has and expectations and successes that never come true. he thought it was going to be easier and the dream was right in front of him, but suddenly it became so far out of reach.
"Not ready to let go, cuz then i'd never know what i could be missing" & "when do i give up what i was wishing for" this further proves the idea and it shows his internal conflict/struggle. Is it time to be realistic and let go of the dream? but if I do, will I regret it later? the what ifs are still there..
It is very upsetting to "hear the sound of losing what you never found" to realize all you've wanted was so close but so far away.
I think everyone can relate to this song at some point in their lives. It is very simple, yet very moving as it is one of those straightforward songs with no hidden meaning instead it is very honest and clear.
