In this song, Chris is in love with a girl who has been hurt too many times and is scared to open up her heart. He is basicalling telling her to let her guard down (lay your armor down), and open up her heart and not to wait because it might be too late. He is saying that the road is now becuase he is ready to love her better.

I agree with the person above, but I also think that the line "You get one look, I'll show you something that the knife took a bit too early for my own good. Now let's not speak of it again" means that everyone, including himself, has been hurt in the past. It's not a reason to stay closed up. The beginning, "The sky glows, I see it shining when my eyes close. I hear your warnings, but we both know I'm gonna look at it again," is an example of her being afraid. "Don't wait, the road is now a sudden sea" says that the path they're following isn't a narrow road, it's an entire ocean. "And suddenly, you're deep enough to lay your armor down." After all, you can't (literally or figuratively) swim while wearing armor. So to continue on in life, she needs to let down her guard.

I agree with above except for "And suddenly, you're deep enough to lay your armor down." I take that to mean, okay, now you feel comfortable enough to let your guard down around me. So just go ahead and let your armor down so we can know each other on a deeper level.
