When I was in a short-term relationship (we were both students going separate ways to continue our education) the guy I was dating played this song a lot. I guess it can mean different things to different people, but for us it described the feeling of being with someone you care about while knowing that the relationship will end.
Light reflects from your shadow
It is more than I thought could exist
You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me
This could describe being surprised at how much you care about someone and how comfortable you feel around them, especially if you weren't intending for things to get serious.
And everyday
I am learning about you
The things that no one else sees
And the end comes too soon
Like dreaming of angels
And leaving without them
This describes the process of forming a deep connection with someone despite the cognitive dissonance of knowing that it won't last.
And with words unspoken
A silent devotion
I know you know what I mean
And the end is unknown
But I think I'm ready
As long as you're with me
This describes the willingness to endure the pain of a relationship and breakup for the companionship of someone you value. The "words unspoken" are them both knowing that they became more attached than they wanted to be and although the end will be painful the whole experience will still have been worth it if they can count on each other for understanding and support.

Just my experience! Thanks!
