This song is about someone who married young, was truly in love at the time, but is no longer in love the same way.
"Wrap me up in always
And drag me in with maybes, yeah
Your innocence is treasure, your innocence is death
Your innocence is all I have"
This part is one of the references to their young love, declaring that they will always love each other and dreaming of the maybes of their future together, their innocence is now how they look at how they use to feel for each other.
"Breathing underwater
And living under glass
And if you spin your love around
The secrets of your dreams
You may find your love is gone
And is not quite what it seemed
To appear to disappear
Beneath all your darkest fears"
This part is about how now they feel trapped, like fish in a tank. But they still have a need to be loved, and if they were to look for it like in their dreams, they will realize that now they are much older and their young love is not something they can recapture with their partner or someone else. Which leads them to emotionally check out of the relationship
"I believe in never
I believe in all the way
But belief is not to notice, belief is just some faith
And faith can't help you to escape
And with this ring I wed thee true
And with this ring I wed thee now
And with this ring I play so dead
But no one's asking for the truth, so let me tell you"
This part shows that they do not plan on leaving the relationship, they made their vows and they intend to keep them, even if they are just fooling themselves. They intend to stay in their loveless marriage until death.
"To the revelations of fresh faced youth
No one will come to save you
So speak your peace in the murmurs drawn
But youth is wasted on the young
Your strength is my weakness, your weakness my hate
My love for you just can't explain
Why we're forever frozen, forever beautiful
Forever lost inside ourselves
The night has come to hold us young"
This last section tells us that even though they no longer feel the same way about their partner they do respect them and probably wouldn't have changed their past. They take solace in the love they felt for each other while they were young and will try to carry on with the help of said memories.
