'I walk in the grass..' describes the idyllic, almost surreal calmness after a disaster, but before the dust has fully settled or realisation set in, which is probably how Nicky felt after Richey's disappearance. This is possibly compared with the disaster of the atomic bomb dropped by Enola Gay.
'Please take me home' 'remember how good you looked' etc. - nostalgia for a time before the disaster/disappearance. 'Like memory it has disappeared' conveys the idea of loss, that nothing is permanent and those times are gone now.
'All I want to do is live, no matter how miserable it is' - beautiful, uplifting lyric about accepting loss and wanting to move onwards.
