Pretty much the same as everyone else, sounds like the guy is in love with her, and he's weak without her, but if she says yes to him (Say it for me, say it to me) then he'll be strong (Show me what it’s like, to be the last one standing). He wants to commit suicide (I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth storey) but he won't if she comes to him (Oh, I scream for you, come please, I'm callin'). Also I think he might be saying he needs her to be happy (and calm?) - (Well I’m terrified of these four walls, these iron bars can’t hold my soul in, all I need is you)

in the song the guy is trapt and all over-come in is own emotions because he's in love with a girl and he feels he's nothing without her..so he's hoping she'll come back before it's to late and his anxiety drives him over the edge and he ends up giving up! ...at least that's what i got out of it...

I love this song! I think it's talking about him leaving that place and going somewhere else with her and starting a new life. 'and i'll leave this life behind me'

My favourite off the album. Its so incredibly beautiful and well written. As for meaning, you all seem to have what i was thinking down well.

Well from what i can tell i think its about a guy who is in love with someone but she doesn't love him ... or sumthing to do with it being one sided. The lines "And I’ll show you what I can be" Means he wants to show her what he can be as a boyfriend "Say it for me Say it to me" He wants her to tell him she loves him. And he won't jump if she says it and gives him a chance ... It could be about second chances too

hey guys, you must see the video. I've just seen it and it was absolutely fantastic. It's so meaningful and matches the song really well. I felt like i was watching some sort of a blockbuster movie!

i dont think so much of the prison, because "prison gates" is a metephor for im stuck, or somehting of the sort, and imc rawling as in hes desperate. the suicide sounds the best, a love/suicide song. i love this song, fist one i heard off the album.
