This is my personal interpretation of the song.
The song is actually talking to 3 different people. His ex-girlfriend, God and himself.
"I knew I never deserved you
I just felt so high in size
I move along, I shuffled in place then
Back hand and you're pulling me in
Will I ever find anyone
Who makes me feel like I've been lost somewhere
Now it's morning, it's over, now it's over"
He is thinking about his gf, from the beginning he always knew what he had was too good to be true. Being with her is like a dream come true. But now that they have broken up, he felt like he woke up from the dream thus, "Now it's morning, it's over, now it's over".
"Am I right where I need to be
Or is this another distraction
Is this how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to let go
Is there a change you need to see
Or is this another disaster
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to let go"
This is him talking to God, you know sometimes when you break up with that girl you love, you will start to question God why does He make you go through the pain.
"Am I right where I need to be
Or is this another distraction": Is this what he is fated for or is his ex-gf just a sort of way to gain "experience" (distraction) before he meets the one he will spend the rest of his life with.
"Is there a change you need to see
Or is this another disaster": Is this how God would have wanted him to react or is he not looking at it in a positive way?
"Tell me how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to let go": He know he is not reacting the way he should. So he is not questioning God.
"No this is never what I wanted
Never what I thought I'd signed up for
And I keep moving away
To the edge then I'll decide whether to jump or stay asleep
Sometimes the leap of faith is all we have
Why won't you tell me"
He is talking to his GF.
"Am I right where I need to be
Or is this another distraction
Is this how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to let go
Is there a change you need to see
Or is this another disaster
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to let go"
Talking to God
"Why won't you wake up
Wake up, nobody's sleeping anymore
And I've had enough of the ground
Made my escape, fell in love with the sound
And I'll pound my fist till you wake up
So why aren't you waking up"
-He is talking to himself. Telling himself to snap back. "Wake up, nobody's sleeping anymore" - he is telling himself that his gf's heart is already not in the relationship anymore (nobody's sleeping anymore.) Notice the slightly higher energy. Its as if he has had enough of self-pity and he wants to do something about it.
And the sun is coming
And the sun is coming out
I can't hide here anymore, no
The sun is coming out
He remembers the time when his gf breaks up with him. Now he has no soulmate. "I can't hide here anymore"
Does this make sense? Im not sure, but this is how i interpret it when i listen carefully to the lyrics and the way Cove delivers and sings the song
