Oct 23rd 2007!⃝To break it down, my interpretation:
'I think I'm on the edge of something new with you'
-Feeling like there's something there.
'Standing there with your smile blinding your eyes from seeing my face as I'm dying to figure out a girl. But she drifts so far away, I'm on her coast, so maybe I should stay and map around your world.'
-He loves her smile, and she doesn't notice that he's trying to figure out how she feels about him. She keeps her distance, but he feels like he's so close that he can figure her out.
'So don't say, "These currents are still killing me" and you can't explain how the wind went and pulled me into your hurricane.'
-I'm not too sure on this one, but the currents are the things that are going on in her life, and the hurricane is her mess of a life.
'The world moves faster than I knew, not fast enough to not creep up on you and the space we put between.'
-To him it feels like things are going too fast in life, but it's taking forever to get close enough to her.
'So pull me under your weather patterns, your cold fronts and the rain don't matter, because a sun burn's what I needed.'
-Cold fronts = being cold/angry; Rain = Depression/Sadness; Sunburn = Feeling the heat/passion [possibly?]
'You don't do it on purpose but you make me shake now I count the hours 'til you wake. With your babies breath, breathe symphonies, come on sweet catastrophe. Well maybe this time I can follow through, I can feel complete, stop paying dues. Stop the rain from falling keep my oceans calm this time I know nothing's wrong.'
-She doesn't know that she makes him nervous because he doesn't know what to do. Breathe symphonies, her voice is like music to his ears, and he's expecting something to go wrong. When he says follow through...stop paying dues, last time he was too afraid to do anything about it, and now he can finish what he starts and stop regretting it. Stop the rain from falling... nothing's wrong is him getting out of the depression, and the anger will be gone because there's nothing wrong.
