As context for the annotations, it is very likely that the song is about a relationship between two people after they’ve physically separated. On a emotionally conscious level, the characters in this story are clearly in disarray.
[Verse 1]
Hey now what did you tell her
Sleepwalking across town
She's living deep in a spell
Now you're not around
I wish you could see how she is now
Thinking all about you
Her world is broken in two
Don't know what to do
[Chorus]
I'm falling, far as i can go
And you, falling, nowhere left to go
[Verse 2]
Still living deep in the spell now
He moved back across town
He's been trying to keep you alive
One day at a time
See him then the moment is gone
Walking alone
You find it hard to know what to say
Though you feel the same
[Chorus]
I'm falling, far as I can go
And you, falling, nowhere left to go
I'm falling, far as I can go
And you, you're falling away from the world
It's been so long
[Outro]
Oh what did you say to her, oh what did you say
You're lying now it's over, oh it's over
Oh what did you sacrifice, oh what did you say
You're lying now it's over, oh it's over
Oh there's nowhere, nowhere to go....
