For me this song is about two current lovers talking about their first true love/crushes, and how they still care for them deeply.
Tell me everything that happened
Tell me everything you saw
They had light inside their eyes
The boy asks her to tell him everything about the person she loved, what they saw in them, etc. She replys that they had an inner fire, a passion that she loved.
Did you see the closing window?
Did you hear the slamming door?
They moved forward, my heart died
The boy asks if she saw the breakup coming, did she realize that it was going to end. She says that after they left her, her heart was broken and died.
Oh please tell me what they looked like
Did they seem afraid of you?
They were kids that I once knew
The boy wants to know more about the other person, what they looked like, if they were afraid of a committed relationship.
I could say it but you wont believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
It's hard to know they're out there
It's hard to know that you still care
He could tell her that he loves her and will always be there for her, but her heart has already been broken by someone who had said the same thing, and doesn't believe him. She can say that she truly loves him, and is over the former lover, but she still cares for her first love. It's hard to live with the fact that a person you love is living a life, but not with you, and that you will always love them.
I could say it but you wont believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
Dead hearts are everywhere
Did you touch them?
Did you hold them?
Did they follow you to town?
They make me feel I'm falling down
The boy asks how intimate they got, did he follow her around and spend a lot of time with her. She says she got the rush you feel when you're with someone you love, the dizzying almost dreamlike feeling.
Was there one you saw too clearly?
Did they seem too real to you?
When you have a crush and keep your distance you tend to idealize them instead of finding out who they really are, so when you finally start to get to know them, those ideals fall short and you stop loving them.
They were kids that I once knew
Now they're all dead hearts to you.
@infernowing overall I like your thoughts. Similar to my thinking. The "it's hard to know they're out there...it's hard to know you still care" to me it feels more than someone talking about ghosts in a paranormal sense. Seems more likely this is about failed relationships symbolized by the "dead hearts" line.
