I'm floating down a river
Oars freed from their homes long ago
Lying face up on the floor
Of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow
Further down the river
Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
Floating down a river named emotion
Will I make it back to shore?
Or drift into the unknown
Further down the river
I'm building an antenna
Transmissions will be sent
When I am through
Maybe we can meet again
Further down the river
And share what we both discovered
Then revel in the view
Further down the river
I'm floating down a river
Oars freed from their homes long ago
Lying face up on the floor
Of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow
Further down the river
Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
Floating down a river named emotion
Will I make it back to shore?
Or drift into the unknown
Further down the river
I'm building an antenna
Transmissions will be sent
When I am through
Maybe we can meet again
Further down the river
And share what we both discovered
Then revel in the view
Further down the river
I'm floating down a river

The second verse, I think, describes the emotional journey associated with "letting go" and leaving the shore and these perceptions of complete control, which in many ways and to many of us, has grown to the point of being our lover.
The final verse, I think, then speaks on this process of growth and how through working on ourselves, then allows us to communicate more efficiently with others, in the hopes of trading ideas and our lessons learned along the way through our journey, since sharing of our experiences and ideas is, in the end, what makes the journey so worthwhile and adds so much to it. Basically, this is Brandon sharing who he is. His story, his philosophy.
Awesome song. Worst song to study to.
Maybe we can meet again
Further down the river
And share what we both discovered
Then revel in the view
meeting up in the afterlife, discussing what they both have experienced in their time apart.
i always get the song meanings so much different that anyone else, but i thought i'd share
Opinions differ with each and every person. And that's okay, because it's all about how the listener wants to personalize it.
Oars freed from their homes long ago

And feel my heart overflow
(This is about going somewhere where he can think and relax, He let his emotions take him anywhere until he can really think of what to do)
Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
Floating down a river named emotion
Will I make it back to shore?
Or drift into the unknown
(As He allowed his emotions to take him somewhere, He felt the emptiness that he is alone without his lover. He is thinking if someday their fate might cross again or maybe he will find someone or he'll continue to feel the emptiness)

(He is doing the things that he can do, (i.e saving the relationship.) Simply just communicating to patch up things after making up his mind and thinking clearly. After being alone to think on what is right, they might see each other elsewhere and talk about what happened and what they think of after being alone)
