Ever had that feeling you're close to loose someone you love? Or that feeling of having a gap between you and your partner?

"I wanna make this plain Oh, I know your faded Mm, but stay, don't close your eyes I wanna make this plain Oh, I know your faded Mm, but stay, don't close your eyes"

To me, this is a clear gap. She's free, impulsive and miss to see the same "fire" in his eyes. He has nearly closed his eyes = turned away from her. She's still on the plain... A place that is either open, wild and free or delineated by a complete or partial ring of hills, by mountains or cliffs (safety and away from all civilisation... like being in the skies). Neither way, she's still where they were in the beginning; at that beautiful plain. But his love has faded.

See the video at Youtube and it makes more sence :)
