Lyrics
You walk in circles in fields of green
You are stuck in repetitive patterns, symbolized by walking in circles in lush fields.
I'll go to heaven if you're not
The speaker contemplates going to heaven if the person they address is not there.
My fondest memory

Conceal my shame

Let these words not be true
Expressing a desire for certain words not to be a reality.
You gave everything to me but I
The person gave a lot to the speaker, but the speaker failed to reciprocate.
Wasn't there for you
Regret for not being there emotionally or physically for the other person.
You walk in circles in fields of green
Repetition of the idea of being trapped in cyclical behaviors.
I'll go to heaven if you're not
Reiterating the possibility of going to heaven if the addressed person is absent.
My fondest memory
A recurrence of a significant and cherished memory.
You're talking to people I've never seen
The person is engaging with others unknown to the speaker.
Blind that they're dragging you under
Warning about influences that may be dragging the person down without their awareness.
Oblivion tastes so sweet

If I could live another life
If given another chance at life, the speaker wishes for a different outcome.
My oldest friend could you

Watch over me and promise that you'll be there for me too

All things must perish

And I hope that we will too
Expressing a hope for the end of a relationship, possibly to avoid suffering.
Leave us drowning in the blue

If nothing is greater than god

Nothing will pull us through
Suggesting that nothing can save the relationship.
I'll meet you in the river we wade into
A symbolic meeting in a river, possibly representing a decision point or separation.
Look him in the eyes and tell him you'll die one day
A direct and confrontational statement about mortality.
Take her hand and promise her you'll run away
Making a commitment to escape with a loved one.
You walk in circles in fields of green
Reiteration of the theme of being stuck in repetitive patterns.
I'll go to heaven if you're not
A repetition of the idea of going to heaven if the person is absent.
