"I signed up to this site just to comment on this song because it speaks to me so much at this juncture of my life. The reason I never signed up before is because I feel song lyrics should be able to be interpreted by the listener to whatever they feel. That's the beauty of music. But anyway here is how I see this song.
"Look in these eyes
We know each other like our own skin and bones
We know the scars,
how they got where they are, in places no one else knows."
this is self explanatory, it's just about that special person in your life, your very best friend, in my case of the opposite sex, who just knows you like no one else. They can see through the b.s. and just know how your feeling.
"If you call this love, then show me some feeling
and if it all goes numb, just keep on breathing."
Obviously you love your best friend, sometimes you might feel they are distant, and when you come to depend on them to make you feel better, sometimes you just want to heart them say they care, their opinion is the only one that matters. Maybe something is going on in their life to cause some lack of emotion, so you just have to encourage them to push on.
"I'll watch you falling from me
When you hit the ground, maybe you'll see
The only way to fall is down
I'll be up in the stars
but I'll be anywhere you are
just say you need me and I'll come down"
This is where my case is a little different, the feelings we have for each other are so real, it just feels like we are emotional soulmates. But given that we both have exes that have yet to move on, we are in no place to date. She was way stronger with adhering to that than me, but still we got caught up in our future. She felt it destroyed the friendship and we are just not the same, the distance is shredding my soul. But as it says, I just have to watch her fall from me, I can't stop her, and hopefully when she hits the inevitable bottom she will remember what we are and can be again, best friends. Because I will always be watching over her and if she ever uttered my name Id drop everything and bolt to her side.
"We'll never know, We'll never ever know if you just let it go"
Lately the talks have been deep and where as she used to say thinking about "us" was her brightest thought, now it seems she wants to destroy it too get the friendship back. But Im just trying to make her see, we can get our friendship back, and put a pin in the dating talk, not a grenade, because if we end it now, we will never know.
"If it comes undone, then tie up your loose ends.
when the colors run, then all of the shapes blend.
Oh, you know there's still a ways to go, so don't start retreating
No, you just gotta take it slow
When you're lost and all out of breath just call and I'll come running baby."
So all we have to do is find the problems and mend them, nothing is too much for a best friendship like ours to survive. When everything in life bleeds together I want her to know we are unique and you cant find what we have around every corner. Maybe we wouldnt discover the together phase for years, but why run away from it completely? If we take it slow and are there for each other through everything, we can survive it all.
"The days go by... "
Life goes on, but it doesn't have to be without each other. What we have doesnt just disappear.
So this is how this song relates to me and it just fits so perfect, plus it sounds great. It was good to get this all out, even if noone reads it, bottled up emotions kill."
