When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

I see this song as an interpersonal dialog where he is speaking to himself in a mirror, trying to convince himself that it is not hopeless. Telling himself that failure is not the end. Saying what he needs is still out there, even if it is not what he wants. He is admitting to himself that he is broken, but can "fix" himself.
This song always stirs up deep emotions for me. Hopelessness, loss, and a need to "fix me".
I hope you're correct because I REALLY REALLY REALLLY detest this track if it means somoene will "fix" someone else. It hasn't happened, at least not in my experience. At every pivotal moment in my life over the past few years, nobody has fixed me, unless it means a type of neutering:) I love the band, but I think of a strong enough word to describe how I've always felt about this track. Thanks for giving it another meaning; it helps.
CAN'T think Ugh.
