This seems to be about someone who unexpectedly finds love, but does not know what direction to go, hence, "all we needed was a river to follow, and fall in." She is trying to convince herself to surrender to the ocean of intoxicating emotions within, but is hesitant because as athena, her life is guided by her head and not her heart. Trying to examine the situation with a rational mind distorts her vision,"looking through the wrong lense, with shaddows in my eyes" because not all matters should be analyzed from that angle. She wants so badly to surrender to that feeling and knows that that if she did, they could "rise" above everything, and "be safe in tomorrow." However, the off-key sound of "fall" at the end, suggests that she never did.
