This is one of my favorite songs too....I always listen to it when I am in a depressed mood or when I am dancing because it brings out my emotions (i am a dancer if you didnt realize that)
But I think that this song is about a girl that is not physically drowning but emotionally drowning in her sorrows, and there are so many that it seems like she is in a river of sorrows, and finally, she gives up and let things just happen, like in the lines:
I've been drowning forever
I'll let go
I'll dive into the river and flow
And in the lines:
You said that you could hear bells in the traffic below
I could hear sirens and car engines fighting the snow
I think that means that this boy is happy and is hearing wonderful things, but she can only hear the negative and the ugly sounds.
I am probably wrong, but oh well. That's how I percieve the song.
And if you haven't heard this song yet, I suggest you do, it is amazing. The singer's voice is therapeutic and the song is, well amazing!
