"Maybe love is looking for someone to fill with holes.
We grow up building lives with holes in all our walls.
The walls can fall, but he who were with spare bricks could save the day.
And we pray it's not too late.
Spare bricks can be deadweight."
We grow up with holes in our lives and other people are able to fill these holes. If something bad happens though, such as a relationship ending terribly, our walls can fall and more holes form. These holes can be filled though by somebody, but the more holes that have accumulated throughout the years makes it harder to fix. The lover would then have to carry more bricks to fix these extra holes but these extra bricks are a heavy burden to carry.
I absolutely love the metaphor during the bridge
