"Brick by brick, we started crumbling"
Will I find you when it falls?""
~These two lines states that the relationship is ended or has ended, and the other person wishes for it to survive after problems have arisen."
"Don't hold your breath
Look around
Try to add it up, pin it down
But you can't"
~This part in the song states a desire of the other person to really ask what his or her lover feels. A last cry to ask his/her lover to give him/her an answer; to end, move on, or start again.
"Oh, I wonder when did it all stop making sense?
I don't understand
I remember, we were so sure, so innocent
Oh, but that was then
Can we ever go back again?
Can we ever go back?"
~The chorus verse is the person's questions to himself/herself, who'se wanting or wishing for the relationship to continue. As he/she looks back to their begginings of how their love began, much like the purpose of the tower of babel and it's creation...to reach the heavens. Or figuratively speaking, love's highs and its lows.
My personal assessment of this song, it's simply the start and the fall of a relationship. And sometimes the lingering question that sets in after it ended is the question itself that we ourselves - such as the question like "What happened?" or "Why did it happen?". And as some relationships never get the closure needed, the words to speak out or the process of letting the other person know of what you really want to say, explain, debate, or simply inform; it simply becomes the greatest obstacle itself. Because in reality, some relationships doesn't make sense as to how or how it started in the first place. But one thing is for sure though, there's a start and an end.
