What a great track to close the album. My second favourite song off North (after Parade). Both are timeless in their appeal - not jumping on any trends or fads. Just two fantastic alternative rock songs that will stand the test of time.
As for the meaning, I can't tell if "we" refers to a couple or if it's intended to represent everyone around him. In any case, I think it's a call to the listener to stop sleep walking through life and start living again, despite the protests of others.
