Lyric discussion by downeyjr 

To me it's seems like it's idealism in love. Witnessing your loved ones beauty and optimism in the face of a very apathetic and bleak humanity, and believing that love and all things good will prevail in the end.

Inevitably, their soft heart is crushed under the weight of the masses expectations of survival in the world, and that initial beauty you fell in love with in regards to them is slowly fading away. Kind of like the innocence of a child being destroyed, and wanting to hang on to that fragile quality for as long as possible because it's so few and far in the "real world".

The narrator wants to save this trait and laments the loss of it in an equally beautiful way.

"If God has a master plan That only He understands I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through"

The persons vision was so pure and wholehearted that it was Paradise, and if God knows what he's doing all along and will eventually bring prosperity, the person hopes that it's through their loved ones eyes because nothing can get more perfect than the vision they previously had.

you literally spoke my soul up there with the above comment.....i wish i could have said it better,AND before you did,but life flows in their own way.

regarding the song,i do believe it's about something,but not ONLY intended for one understanding nor for one listening....

(on my count i'm at least at 12,3435,7690...and going further : )
