I have always liked this song and never really paid attention to the lyrics, but now that I have I am not so sure it really is a love song. This is my interpretation, I would love to hear some feedback!
I have copied the lyrics and then written my interpretation below as appropriate:
"You sit there in my shadows
And you call it your relief
Dont be the one with bad eyes for The things that I could see Dont give me that"
You say you are relieved to receive less attention than me
Don't tell me you can’t see what I can see — the truth is you are depressed
"The darkness has no armor
Need protection from the air
High hopes through time passing
When I see I want you there "
You are in a dark place (depression) and you are vulnerable, you need to be protected from the outside world.
I have hope that you will heal with time
I hope that one day you will see what I see
"I cant believe Youre the one for me
If it was this easy to find you
I should be ready for a fall
I should be ready for a fall "
I don’t think you are the one for me, because if you were I should be falling for you and I’m not.
"Now my wonders rally
Around the person I once was
Like a bird that Ive been helping Hope youre healed and strong
You never know when you might have to fly "
I am amazed at who I used to be.
I hope by now you have recovered from your depression.
"Where will you go after me
Where will you go after I set you free
And I don`t know you from a page in my book
Though I should
Though I should "
I have left you so you are now free to do what ever you want without any worries — what are you going to do?
I realized that I never really knew who you are, though I should have.
