This is one of my all around favorite songs. I think lyrically it is one of my strongest and musically it works very well. I am not sure what it is about really. The words just kind of came to me. It is open for unterpretation which always makes for a more interesting listenning experience.

I've got something to say that may not or it may
Make you cry
Don't water it down with the water that falls
From the emerald pool of your eye

All the reasons I knew in my heart
I can't recall anymore
You floated your answers in bottles that washed up
On someone elses shore

You were disguised but like dark to blind eyes
You were all I ever knew
Try not to cry as the day turs to night
And the shadow falls around you

Ohhh

If you can walk when you are sleeping
And dream when you're awake
If this thing we've got is worth keeping
Why do you throw it away
Why should you throw it away

So convincing the lie that comes out of your eye
I could follow you down forever
Somewhere deep inside I'm attached to the sky
But for you this line I would sever

You throw words around and they float to the ground
Just as gently, just like a feather
Should those words turn cold they would drop like a stone
And there's no coming back here, no never

Ohhh

If you can walk when you are sleeping
And dream when you're awake
If this thing we've got is worth keeping
Why do you throw it away
Why should you throw it away

Ahhhhhhh...
La la la la la...

Keep it safe
keep it safe
lock it away from the world
Keep it safe
Keep it safe
Don't let it show to the world
Keep it safe
keep it safe
Keep it safe, locked away
In your heart
Keep it safe
Lock it away from the world
Lock it away from the world
Lock it away from the world
From the world
From the world
