This is actually the first song that's moved me enough to comment here.
I think it's about leaving the person you love ("And I know that I'll be leaving soon") and the instability of life ("Life is a waving feather") and the idea that life is always changing.
She's dancing with the boy she loves and I think it's just an intense moment because they both know that she's leaving. And she's scared of the confrontation on the subject, hence "I look down to hide from your eyes cause what I feel is so sweet and I'm scared"... she doesn't want anything to ruin the moment.
I think the line "Music's the reason why I know time still exists" is really important because it shows how time has stopped for the two of them, just dancing. That if it weren't for the music -- something to which they can keep time, keep track of how long they've been dancing -- they wouldn't realize the time that's passed because they are frozen in that moment, it's like the world has stopped for them.
Along with the intensity of emotion between them, I think a big part of the song is that she's scared a long distance relationship won't work, because she's leaving. The lines "I hope that I will do no wrong," and "I hope that you won't hurt me," kind of show her hope that, for lack of a better term, neither of them will cheat on the other. But it's somewhat of a sad song, because we know in the beginning that she has her doubts: "The depth of life will dim the tempation to live for you," which is an excellent, excellent line, but sad.
I think that's also part of the reason she repeats "Time still exists"... It goes with the line about "the depth of life" and shows that, yes, she loves him, but life will go on after him, her life will change. The world doesn't stop because she loves someone and her life is going to push her against those limits that their love forms.

Those are my thoughts!
