A warning sign
I missed the good part then I realised
I started looking and the bubble burst
I started looking for excuses
Come on in,...

How about if you were or are in a long term relationship and while you have had the fireworks and sparks and moved into the comfortable and easy, but there is always something you held back of yourself as well as holding yourself back from getting to know something more or deeper about your partner because you need to keep yourself just slightly back from total surrender for fears that you can't really explain or understand, maybe its that you want more or something else or maybe you fear being hurt.
So you wind up in the relationship where intimacy becomes strained and suddenly the person your with is slowly drifting away, but they haven't gone anywhere and they haven't broken up with you, and when you look closely at what is happening with your relationship you look for something wrong, some kind of "warning sign" that they are the one's hurting you, and because you don't know how to breach that lack of intimacy you use whatever excuse you find to accuse the other of breaking your heart and hold them accountable for the destruction of your relationship and if your really lost you are the one that ends it! You don't realise that the whole time it was you and it was as simple as "I miss you"...you just don't know how to say it until its almost too late or in fact is already too late so you wind up being the one that does all the hurting. How do I know.....I didn't realise it was me until I heard this song.......And let me tell you something amazing...you see the dignity and quality of your partner if you do have those open arms to crawl back into :)

I've heard a lot of interpretations for this song, many of which seems to fit so I guess you can take it however you wish. I seem to think it's about people who let an opportunity to slip because they are afraid to fall in love and get hurt. They dream about being with that one person but are always looking for excuses to stay away, when that person is gone they regret ever letting him or her passed by without even an attempt. The verse "You were an island and I passed you by, you were an island to discover" always gets me.

In a world where no one is perfect and we all have flaws we can choose to look at our partners in a positive or negative way. If you do have a fear of getting hurt and have had bad relationships in the past with family or lovers when things get serious you'll tend to focus on the negative (warning signs} which will eventually pull you apart because you can only see a negative outcome. Only when the person has gone do you start to see that they were the only thing/person/island in a life that can sometimes feel like an empty sea lacking substance. No matter how stormy things get out there, your island will always be a source of security!

Life changes and with it new people and feelings. It seems to me that as you have a lot of experiences, especially with those you feel close to, you build deeper and deeper feelings. Where this song comes in is the point in time where you may have left the more significant people in your lifetime and a sort of "awakening" happens that shows you that you have a void to fill in your heart. Listening to this song for the very first time made everything so clear to me.

Wow, the relationship described from the June post describes my exact past relationship. Nice to know that I'm not the only one with the same problem, but I don't know if it will have a happy ending like yours. Congrats!

To me, this song is about losing someone and then realizing how ironic it was after words.
For example, When My three year old cousin died last year from lukemia, the day before she was diagnoised I wrote an essay (unknowing she had any problems) about child hood cancer. The last time i saw her i felt like i was saying good bye forever and cried. my friends cousin died the day before, and the night she died was opening night for our school's play called 1000 cranes (a story about a young girl who lives in hiroshima and gets lukemia after the atom bomb drops and dies)
To me, all these things where the "warning signs" described in the song... things i looked back on after she died and that seemed like they should have been a warining for me (she came back you haunt me and I realized)
and the truth is, i miss her,
