Did you think you were made for all the things
That felt like a waste
Or has everything led you to be
What you have never foreseen
Everything I see reminds me
Of just how beautiful you can be
I'm waiting for a feeling
That would make love open my eyes
Remind me I'm alive
This Seattle life, it has changed me from the inside
Changed me from the inside
It has magnified my cries
For something more than fine
Now we see that everything we have
And everything we lack
Is exactly what we need
Every single day
Everything we've made
Has put us in this place in just this way
That felt like a waste
Or has everything led you to be
What you have never foreseen
Everything I see reminds me
Of just how beautiful you can be
I'm waiting for a feeling
That would make love open my eyes
Remind me I'm alive
This Seattle life, it has changed me from the inside
Changed me from the inside
It has magnified my cries
For something more than fine
Now we see that everything we have
And everything we lack
Is exactly what we need
Every single day
Everything we've made
Has put us in this place in just this way

That felt like a waste
Or has everything led you to be
What you have never foreseen
-This refers to the things in life that feel like a waste are still things planned for you by God and all the thing planned by Him made you to be who you are.
Everything I see reminds me
of just how beautiful you can be
- this is saying that the world reminds him of God and evrything in it symbolizes how beautiful His works are.
I'm waiting for a feeling
That would make love open my eyes
Remind me I'm alive
- HE needs his love for GOd to make him open his eyes to what is around him and remind him that God his the one who gave him life.
This Seattle life, it has changed me from the inside
Changed me from the inside
It has magnified my cries
For something more than fine
- The Seattle rains "Magnified" his cries of desperation over time that God felt for all the evil in the world.
Now we see that everything we have
And everything we lack
Is exactly what we need
- Everything we have/don't have is the only thing we need to live the life God wants us to live.

"Did you think you were made for all the things
That felt like a waste
Or has everything led you to be
What you have never foreseen"
-Asking himself if he honestly believes he is here just here to be here, and if the things he's experienced have maybe led him to believe in a "higher power" (What you have never foreseen)
"Everything I see reminds me
Of just how beautiful you can be
I'm waiting for a feeling
That would make love open my eyes
Remind me I'm alive"
-Saying that everything he's experienced reminds him of how God works in mysterious ways but since this "thing" (maybe in the next vurse when he talks about Seattle?) happened, whatever it was, he needs to be reminded of God's plan and reassured that it will all work out (Remind me I'm alive)
"This Seattle life, it has changed me from the inside
Changed me from the inside
It has magnified my cries
For something more than fine"
- When he says Seattle, he's probably referring to this "thing" that happened, and it's "changed him
from the inside" and made him realize how much he longs for God's love (magnified my cries for something more than fine)
"Now we see that everything we have
And everything we lack
Is exactly what we need
Every single day
Everything we've made
Has put us in this place in just this way"
-Coming to the realization that no matter what you have/want/need, there's a reason behind it and that when you're in doubt God shows you there is a reason behind everything that happens.
Kind of confusing, but my mind was moving faster than my fingers.
In a way, its about a girl. it can also be about a boy. I'll get to that in a second.
Pretty much what is ultimately about is God's plan for your life and your future spouse.
Did you think you were made for all the things
That felt like a waste
- Are you made for things that feel like they are wasting your time? NO, of course not.
Or has everything led you to be
What you have never foreseen
- everything you've been through has shaped you just how God wanted you to be shaped.
Everything I see reminds me
Of just how beautiful you can be
- This is the part about who you love. When you truly love someone, beauty comes alive in sooo many ways. Everything about her/him becomes amazing and awe inspiring to you.
I'm waiting for a feeling
That would make love open my eyes
Remind me I'm alive
- Love opens your eyes, and reminds you that you are alive.
This Seattle life, it has changed me from the inside
Changed me from the inside
It has magnified my cries
For something more than fine
- longing to be alive. wanting something more than fine.
Now we see that everything we have
And everything we lack
Is exactly what we need
- Everything you have and don't have is exactly what you need to live the life God wants for you. He makes no mistakes.
Every single day
Everything we've made
Has put us in this place in just this way
- you are here because of your actions and everything you lack/have.
