Lyric discussion by WrightlessSmalls 

Up on melancholy hill There's a plastic tree Are you here with me? Just looking out on the day of another dream

[There in fake little world, where its just them, and they dont have to worry about the troubles and hinders of their seperate lives.]

Well, you can't get what you want But you can get me So let's set up and see, love 'Cause you are my medicine

[she cant get what she wants in her life which is seperate from his. maybe she cant get what she wants in a relationship shes in, shes not fulfilled. but he wants her, and when shes with him shes happy.]

When you're close to me When you're close to me

So call in the submarines 'round the world we'll go Does anybody know her? If we're looking out on the day of another dream

[they're looking out on the day of another dream because when they aren't together they don't really know when they might see each other next, but when they do it feels like a dream.]

If you can't get what you want Then you come with me

[again, if she doesnt get what shes wanting out of her life ie, realationshipwise, she goes to him and they sit up on melancholy hill.]

wow

This interpretation is similar to what i am going through right now. I want this woman who is taken. I can't get my mind off of her.
