To me this song and a couple of other HR songs (The Simplest Thing is the first that comes to mind) sound like they're about someone dealing with depression and anxiety. Perhaps it's because I've been there but the lyrics about taking the bandages off "the nothing weighs a ton" and stepping out in the sun made me think of that, and that it's the narrator trying to encourage someone to be happy again. Whatever the interpretation this is such a gorgeous song.
