If your right hand is causing you pain
Cut it off, cut it off
If your colours have started to run
Let them all run, run away from you
[Basically saying that anything that is wrong for the girl to just let go of.

There is lightning in this room
Above our heads, waiting to strike
I’m a thinker not a talker
Put your faith, your faith in God
[Lightning Waiting to Strike means the hardships are on the way for this couple. the 2nd line is Basically stating that the Guy isn't going to talk about the problems, even if he sees them tearing them apart. He's basically telling the girl, "Put your Faith in God that this relationship works out, Because I don't have the words to make it better.
"]
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux
[It means that they wanted the relationship to be the love that they wanted but in the end it was just more hardship than they could bare, and they have to talk it out, because they are at a change in their lives (state of flux).

I’d kill for an adventure
Just you and I, in the ?
Dancing till we knew
So all that we’ve learnt disappears
[Saying that he wishes that they could just run away from their looming problems, to have things like they used to be.
]
When you shouted at me
I saw my father in the second grade
Concerned and kind
Yet unable to reach me
[Apparently there was an argument between the two, and her yelling at him was showing that shes worried at the present state of the relationship because she truly does love him, but its unable to solve the problems.

The Big ‘T’ christian way of seeing this is that maybe sometimes in life you have things keeping you down from your relationchip with God, and you need to weed them out of your life to get closer to God. I also think it says that there are problems that will come, but you need to push through and put faith in God. Pretymuch i think the Big “T” way to explain it is that wehave struggl and things that keep us away from God, but we need to sort them out and we do have problems in life that we need to trust God to make it better and get us through it.
