Lyric discussion by killah 

it's rare that song lyrics stand out to me, but this song immediately grabbed my attention. This "person A" was feeling lost and confused, for whatever reason, and is singing about "person B", who saved them from heading down a dangerous path. I think there is something keeping them from being together - whether it be distance, etc. This had caused Person B to give up hope of ever being happy and just wanted to settle for less ("swallowed in the sea" of fish), but Person A had completely selfless feelings for them and knew that they deserved better. . I'm not sure if I believe in the idea of soulmates, but I think this song pretty accurately describes it. Two people who are meant to be together in the end, no matter what. Fate only takes you so far, the rest is up to you.

I'm dealing with something like this right now, it's tough and it hurts - but I have faith. complete faith. it seems ridiculously naive but I can't change the way I feel. I refuse to settle for less. I kind of feel like a tool for writing this, I just felt like letting it out.

a tool? gosh i think i understand. someone above said that this song gave them hope? if anything this song makes me feel like giving up on love. he is definitely talking about soul mates and just passionate lovers in general, real love, though i'm sure all lovers claim real love, i'm always in some form of love/like, i'm just a bitter romantic like that. and each one i believe is going to bring such promise and fulfillment as the last. i feel terrible for relating to coldplay's sorrowful tunes, wonder why is it that i take...

karma666, i am going through absolutely the same thinhg right now. absolutely the same.

i'm glad i'm not the only one out there, looking for beautiful lyrics to define my life and give me assurance that i'm not alone. karma666, i completely relate
