Well i think that it is a love story told backwards, i believe that is sort of a romeo and juliet sort of thing, but for the most part they are talking to there parents. They are trying to convince there parents that the other one is not as bad as they think Here let me explain from the end of the song to the beginning.

I met a man today and he smiled back at me Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet, That keep me on my feet.; this is exactly as it sounds

So make all your last demands for I will forsake you And I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last; This is the boy warning his parents that if they will not let him be happy then he will leave them.

The cat's silhouette, as big as a monster, In this concrete jungle, with street lights hanging their heads ; this is the girl telling her parents that though the cat seems as though it is a monster it is only a cat and only appears this way because of the shadows being made by the street lamps. The cat is the boy and the shadow is what there parents see him as, and the street lamps are there judgement, there judgement makes them see what really is not there.

To be asked to take this plunge, to forgive and forget And be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man ; this is the girl again telling her parents that it is time to forgive and forget it is the right thing to do although it can be very hard to do you are showing your love for your daughter and your consern for her happiness and not your own.

The books that I keep by my bags are full of your stories That I drew up from a little dream of mine, a little nightmare of yours ; this is the boy reminding them of the stories probably told to hom as a child of happily ever after and following your dream is all he ever wanted but now it seems as though it is there biggest nightmare, which happens to most parents, not wanting there children to grow up and leave

The carpet on my cheek feels like the fall grass And I run through the tall trees with your hands chasing me ; this is the girl, reminding herself of good times, knowing she will probably never see him again, maybe they were friends when they were little and something happened and that is why there parents dont want them to be together

The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you ; this is the boy telling the girl, the sea, or the girl said goodbye to the shore, him so the sun wouldnt notice, sun being there parents, the seaweed that wrapped its arms around you, meaning there love

The chorus; So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well ;is them telling there parents to love them anyway no matter what happens and let there siblings be who they want as well
