When I read the lyrics I think about someone that has grown up and now can accept the break up.
"to lose a skin, to just grow away" - now I have to face the truth and grow away to move on
"but i've grown to see the diamonds you've thrown in just for me" - now I see the good things you (the lover) did for me [probably breaking up with him]
"We spent so many nights just gathering stones
the silver tears, old sapphire bones
all the copper leaves
then dreamt, now true
look how they find their path to cut right through" - i don't know what he meant by these verses and I can't say anything but I really love them
"like a rain to help a river but a river so hard to please" - i think is about how he tried to help her [and he loved her] but she was never pleased and never felt loved [it doesn't contradict the good thing she did for him, on the contary - since I can't make you feel loved it's better we separate]
"i lose my wish to drown and aimless flee
what you've thrown to lose is still right here with me" - oh, I shiver when I hear it. amazing. also, I think it's what guide the whole interpretation - though her actions (probably the break up) won't change anymore, he overcomes the sadness and GROWS AWAY.
