This is probably one of my favorite songs of theirs. I've always wondered what the lyrics mean. I've seen some people say religious, and a few other things.

Personally I feel like it's between someone and a loved one who is passing away. I feel like the first part could be the person that is slowly passing away.

At the end, it's almost like it switches. It's the loved one that doesn't want their loved one to pass away. And when the final few verses are being played (where there's 2 voices singing over top of eachother) it's like it's both the person passing, and the loved one both talking at the same time.

I know that's probably not what the song is about, but it's how I look at it. I'd love to know everyone's thoughts
