  General Comment:Ok - both the posted lyrics and the correction are wrong.
  
  If you think you're ready
  I will lead you now
  To the field where it's buried
  Somewhere underground
  
  All good things in time
  I know we'll be fine
  Buried underneath
  You are all I see
  
  And in response to aardvarksauce...
  
  The line "...to the field where it's buried somewhere underground" is separated when written out, but is one statement. Not only does he not say "better," but "somewhere underground" is not its own random detached series of words. You can think of the entire first stanza as one sentence.

  General Comment:I like to think this one is about two men in love, afraid to admit to themselves or each other. The structure of the lyrics works very well if you interpret it this way. There is a suspense, what is it that is buried underneath, why does the other person have to be ready for it, why is there a need for the singer to say "I know we'll be fine"? It seems as if it's something ifrightening, but also important and good, "all good things in time". And then the singer confesses, that what is buried underneath is the fact that "you are all I see".

  Lyric Correction:If you think you're ready
  I will lead you down
  To a field where it's better
  Somewhere underground
  
  All good things in time
  I know we'll be fine
  Buried underneath
  You are all I see (x3)
  
  All good things in time
  I know we'll be fine
  Buried underneath
  You are all I see (x3)
  
  This is such a beautiful song. I think it's about God reaching out to one of us.
  
  "If you think you're ready" - God asking if you've accepted him into your heart
  "I will lead you down" - I think it's a reference to "down the path"...leading you down the right path
  "To a field where it's better" - Heaven
  "Somewhere underground" - NO IDEA
  
  "All good things in time" - Wait for him to take you
  "I know we'll be fine" - the two of you can get through anything
  "Buried underneath" - through your human exterior
  "You are all I see" - All God sees is your soul
