To be honest lets yes I must agree with some of the above comments,which state that opinions could deffer form person to person when listening to this song. Here is my take on it.
It's true that the music video and the lyrics gives the viewer/listener the impression about life after death and instills hope that you might see them again.
It could also mean that a person who really cared about you decided, he/she had no choice, but to leave because he/she cared too much and thus the lyrics seem to show regret when she says "Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking
But I stay strong and I hold on" & "this is not where it ends, I will carry you with me" because it might have been to hard to let go but yet she/he hold on to the memory of the past in hope that their paths would cross again, if not in this life may be the nect :). In the 3rd verse the 2nd and 3rd stanzas ( I can hear those echoes in the wind at night Calling me back in time) indicates an intimate memory of the past, which he/she remembers fondly. the rest of the 3rd verse shows that he/she yearns to see him/her again. The 5th verse shows that sometimes any of us can lose hope and thus can break you at times. when she (carrie) says "but I stay strong and hold on cause I know, I will see you again" shows even though the thought of you can break him/her that both of them (or at least one of them) would still hold on to the memory of you until the time was right to see each other again. That's my take on this song lol i feel like I'm in Literature class all over again :D
