Thousand Ways

I think the song is about a Man telling his Ex that she will never forget him and that he will live "for ages I'm a thousand turns of tides" in his Ex's mind, where he will live forever and the memory of him will turn round and round in her mind.And although he will "always be blamed for the sun going down with a sigh" meaning he will always be blamed for the ending of their relationship ;he is still "the light in the middle of every man's fog" meaning that her future lovers don't matter because she will never forget him. He is light, her true love and every other future lover is just fog. It also means she will look for the love they had and him, "the light", in every relationship she has with other men, "the fog". The line "If I don't get you in the morning, by the evening I sure will" means that if she does not think of him in the morning she will think of him in the evening because he will always be in her thoughts.In the lines "And no I never meant to say these words but yes you ought to know/That the dark in what I've always been, it will not ever go/No it will not ever go" he is saying he didn't want to tell her this but he will always live in the dark recesses of her mind,the memory of him will never go. At the end he once again says he will live a thousand years in in the tide of her mind as he will turn round and round in her mind and she will try a thousand ways to forget him.
