"I etched the face of a stopwatch on the back of a raindrop
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass"
I think this has something to do with the protagonist wanting to swap a stopwatch, a digital device that records time elapsing, for the "sand in an hourglass", which records time commencing and running out. I think this refers to the protagonist of Oliver in "Submarine" because it shows that he has given up waiting, and lying in his bed for Jordana, and shows that he has realised time is running out if he wants her back.
"If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes."
Walking on water generally refers to doing something that seems nearly impossible. So its basically saying if your gonna try and do the impossible, wear your comfortable shoes so you don't get hurt.
"Mysteries flashing amber
Go green when you answer
But the red on the rest of the questionnaire never changes"
If this loosely refers to the film "Submarine", I'd say it means that the "mysteries flashing amber" are details about Jordana that when they are revealed, seem obvious, and yet there are still deep mysteries to her that "never change", meaning that they will never be clear to Oliver.
