"I etched the face of a stopwatch on the back of a raindrop
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass"
He created some so beautiful then swapped it for the sand which is dull.
Stop watch and hourglass both show the amount of time he's put into building up the "relationship".
Also gives the effect he's dreamed about this in the morning.
"I heard an unhappy ending
It sorta sounds like you're leaving
I heard the piledriver waltz
It woke me up this morning"
He thinks that something wrong with her and he feels that the relationship is going to end.
She's woke him up in the morning back making loads of noise. (piledriver)
(waltz) Like she's planned it and you go through the same moves of splitting up like you would with planned dance moves.
"You look like you've been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel
And sat in the back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food
If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes"
She got up and had breakfast on her own downstair.
she's been feeling down about herself and is having a hard time so she's taking it out on the relationship because she's upset.
If your gonna start a relationship they put time into make sure your sure you want to end it.
everyone know you cant walk on water and much like falling out it ends up not working.
"Mysteries flashing amber
Go green when you answer
But the red on the rest of the questionnaire never changes"
Hes not getting a straight answer about what is up with her
red parts of a question when you dont fill them in correct.
"I heard the news that you're planning
To shoot me out of a cannon
I heard the piledriver waltz
It woke me up this morning"
Shes mad about "something" and is ready to end the relationship (shoot me out of a canon)
My view on what the song means:
