In my opinion this is about a love that arose out of an unexpected or forbidden relationship. It is about falling in love with someone when possibly married or dating another person who is abusive or not right for them.
The heart is a stone and it is a stone that we throw,
(The heart has become hardened as it has been hurt very much perhaps by life or by being in abusive relationships, and it has been thrown at someone who seemed very far away)
They saw we can throw far but they don't know how far we throw
With our legs on the edge
(This relationship has seemed to never be able to exist, and it is on the edge of becoming what could never be.)
And our feet on the horizon
(Hoping and knowing that it can be more.)
It took so long, can't say we heard it all
(It seemed to take long for the relationship to finally be, and in a sense not hearing what would happen from each other, or other people, maybe a current boyfriend or husband? that is no longer in the picture)
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell.
(They were close, yet far. And knew each other for what seemed a long time that they couldn't be together. And as time went on they fell in love)
It can't be gone, we're still right here
(The relationship, may not be how they imagined or dreamed when they weren't together- but their desires have lasted so many years- that they know they love each other and stay together.)
I took so long, can't say we felt it all
(It took long to be together, and they may not have allowed their full feelings for each other to show because they weren't supposed to love each other)
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell.
Love's like a pantheon it carries on forever.
(Their love is not how they imagined or dreamed it would be when they weren't together- but they know they are in love and will always be.)
It can't be gone we're still right here
(The relationship finally exists, and it isn't exactly how they imagined it to be.
