I think the whole song is from the side how the Girl is thinking of Joe
Oh, you say you love me Joe
How am I supposed to know?
When you go under the waves,
what am I supposed to say?
= Joe is in Love with this Girl, maybe he hide the love for her?
I see people on the floor
They' slide into the sea
Can't stay here anymore
We're turning into fiends
= she saw people in similar Situations and saw how they slide into some things, they don´t really wanted a relationship comes in mind
or how she fights with "Joe" and turning into fiends
If I stay here trouble will find me
If I stay here I'll never leave
If I stay here trouble will find me
I believe
= then she tell the hard truth to Joe, she can´t stay with him, there is something but if she stays she will never be able to break Joes Heart
but she not really knows, she believe
Joe, I'll always think of you
as the kind of child who knew
this was never gonna last
Joe, you fell so fast
= She really like Joe, she remember Joe as the Kid he was, but Joe changed over the Years, Joe fell too fast for her, to reach him...
Hey Joe, sorry I hurt you, but they say love is a virtue don't they?
= here it seems she don´t overthink this and see what it really is, a virtue but asks again..
I see you rushing down
Tell me how to reach you
I see you rushing down
What did Harvard teach you?
= she see Joe is rushing down, but she can´t help him at all, she like him as a friend not more
the havard line maybe will say, look you where at Havard did they don´t teach you how the react in those situations
i could be complete wrong and sorry for my english, im not a native speaker
this makes this even more difficult for me
i hope you understand what i try to say
thanks
