If There's a Rocket Tie Me To It Lyrics
Two weeks later like a surplus reprieve
I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve I wound it round and round my finger so tight It turned to purple and a pulse formed inside And I knew the the beat 'cause it matched your own beat I still remember it from our chest to chest and feet to feet The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush of ovens, aeroplanes and of distant car horns A fire, a fire You can only take what you can carry A pulse, your pulse It's the only thing I can remember I break, you don't I was always set to self-destruct, though The fire, the fire It cracks and barks like primal music I said I knew the beat 'cause it matched your own beat It's become my engine, my own source of heat The sea between us only amplifies the sound waves Every hum and echo and crash paints my cave

I guess its about someone missing their other half who has gone away for whatever reason, though the feeling I get is not due to a break up. So he's missing her because she's not there not because he's lost her. Though I might be completely wrong about that.

Its about missing someone you have just lost and trying to move on. Then you find a little reminder of them-like a hair-and you can't help but think about them You compare your own pulse to theirs("Your beat") and remember the days when you lay so close to them that you could feel their heartbeat/pulse. The loneliness of not being with that person makes the silence eerie, and the distance between you "amplifies the sound"-makes the loneliness/silence unbearable and worse. The silence is deafening, eg The crackling of the fire-"barks"like "primal music" and the only sounds to be heard are irrelevant-("hum of ovens, aeroplanes...") because you feel you have nothing left.

'When your eyes meet mine, I lose simple skills, like to tell you all I wont is now' reminds me of how i feel numb as i gaze into her eyes. Amazing line.
Best track of the album along with set down your glass

this sounds like he didn't need to be reminded of someone he's broken up with, but when he was reminded, all the good times came flooding back.
