I see the cancer connection but from the second I heard this song, I thought it was a break-up song. Parting with someone you really care about and knowing the pain is so heavy but that you can get through it. An optimistic song.
There's a lot that I don't know
There's a lot that I'm still learning (about a girl)
But I think I'm letting go
To find my body is still burning (he tells himself he is over her but still finds himself not able to let her go)
And you hold me down
And you got me living in the past (She keeps reminding him of what they used to be)
Come on and pick me up
Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast (He doesn't mind living in the past as long as he is happy and ignoring the present)
And I'm alive
And I don't need a witness (I always thought it said "And I don't need to WIN THIS, which makes more sense in that he is ok with the breakup and being the one who is broken because he knows that he will survive)
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution (As long as he get some sort of closure he knows he will be ok)
And the bars are finally closed
So I try living in the moment (He can't drink away the present)
'Til the moment it just froze
And I felt sick and so alone (Being sober makes him realize how lonely he is)
I can hear the sound
Of your voice still ringing in my ear
I'm going underground
But you'll find me anywhere I feel (He wants to escape her but can't, obviously)
