(Wake up
You know, you are
Wake up
Hang on)
Just pour
Some concrete in my bones
So I can feel whole again
And people in this town
Talk with their tongues hanging out
So they could tell us how to be just like them
And do you know why
I can't sleep at night
When it's raining down your face
So I wake up
And I fall down
'Cause I can't live a life without you by my side
And do you know why I'm here?
Can you feel my fears?
Do you know I will say what you always wanted?
Yeah you know why I'm here
You can feel my fears
Oh you know I would say what you always wanted
It's you that helps me sleep at night
It's you that helps me sleep at night
Night, at night...
If lightning strikes this place again,
I'll forget what I would say to you
You know, you are
Wake up
Hang on)
Just pour
Some concrete in my bones
So I can feel whole again
And people in this town
Talk with their tongues hanging out
So they could tell us how to be just like them
And do you know why
I can't sleep at night
When it's raining down your face
So I wake up
And I fall down
'Cause I can't live a life without you by my side
And do you know why I'm here?
Can you feel my fears?
Do you know I will say what you always wanted?
Yeah you know why I'm here
You can feel my fears
Oh you know I would say what you always wanted
It's you that helps me sleep at night
It's you that helps me sleep at night
Night, at night...
If lightning strikes this place again,
I'll forget what I would say to you

I love this song, but its all very confusing, it makes me go around in circles, I can't really get a firm grasp on its meaning. Maybe this was done on purpose?
its got to be about some relationship, romantic I think. Interesting about the baby with the tinkle xylophone instrument.
The 'do you know my fears' section always gets me up thinking he's going to ask this person about their relationship, maybe one that existed in the past and he realizes he can't live without.
What really strikes me as odd is the fourth to fifth stanza:
'i can't sleep without you........
I wake up and fall down
The proximity of those two seem too purposeful.
Concrete to fill in bones is a great example of OP's first meaning. I'm a big fan of the former relationship that he wants to reignite. Lightning striking could refer to the electricity between them or the fact that he doesn't have any chance that this would happen. Forgetting what to say would also seem to think its happened before.
