Lyrics and Their Meaning:

I can still taste the oceanLike it was today

This relates back to Vapour where you breath her in, and she smells like the ocean. So you can still taste her as is she was with you just earlier

You said please keep on holding

She wanted to stay and hold

Your hands

Self explanatory

 and the rain it came too soon, I will wait for you

And the rain and sadness hit me like it was bucketing, but I will wait for you

To love me again

your love to be rekindled

I guess I was running from something

I was trying to escape something

I was running back to you

And just wanted you

Lost here in London with nothing

I'm lost here with nothing 

I'm still running back to you

And I just want you

If you could love me again

If you still loved me

I could let go of everything

I would drop everything and return to you

If I was an islandIn search of castaways
Maybe I'll find you (I'll find you)

This part explains (using a metaphor) how much I really want you. If I was an island that just wanted castaways, maybe I'd find you in the sea

The darkest night

Self explanatory

Never felt so bright with you by my side

Explodes into colour with you

Nothing like the rain, nothing like the rain
When you're in outer space, when you're in outer space

Rain is something that doesn't happen in space, so by saying there's nothing like it in outer space, I'm expressing that I need you because you're unique and make unusual things happen in unusual places. 

Love me like you did, love me like you did
I'll give you anything, I'll give you anything

I just want you back to love me like you did, I'll do anything for you

*Oceanic segue*Carry on, let the good times roll

I have to move on and let the good times roll

Sail along, let your path unfold

Keep on going and let whoever controls my path choose it for me

It won't be long, won't be long, won't be long

Soon

You know it's gonna get better

It will get better

Say a prayer for the broken bones

Pray for the things that are broken

'Cause who cares?

Because you do need them, but sometimes you need to throw away necessities and be selfish for once

We're all going home

We'll find a way to get home and out of this hell hole

I got one foot in the golden life, one foot in the gutter

I have the perfect life, but sometimes it feels terrible

So close to the other side, so far from the wonder

So close to being both in each side however I just want have some wonder in my life sometimes

So sick of the tug of war, that keeps pulling me underI'm so sick of having to fight for my life, and I have to succumb to this at some timeLet the good times roll

Celebrate the good times, because they're hard to have

Carry on, outlast the ignorance

Move away from the ignorance

Moving on, survive the innocence

Surpass the innocence and prove that you know what you're doing because it will get better

Yay or Nay: Absolute YAY!

What It Reminds Me Of: This song is about surpassing the struggles in life and staying positive through it. But also not forgetting what you have and being grateful for the objects and opportunities that you do have, because sometimes your world can flip over. And you will be forced to play tug of war with the gutter, just know that you can make it out!
