Tried to dive into past experience and emotions re: having a fight with a lover and trying to find a way back to tenderness.
Take a Deep Breath

Verse 1
There are no words that pass between you
It’s a river that’s run dry
You’re boring holes right through the table
‘Cause you can’t see eye to eye
There’s a solid rock inside your chest
You swear that you won’t cry
There’s no way back, you won’t retreat
But you won’t say goodbye
Chorus
Take a deep breath
Close your eyes
Put your mind to rest
Let spirit rise
Your heart is calling to you
I’m still beating, I’m still here
Turn away from the silence
Let the anger disappear
Verse 2
You can’t remember why you love her
That’s lost in fog and fear
All that matters right now
Is the fight that brought you here
Where is that lovely woman
Who made the stars appear
You need to catch a glimpse of her
A light to help you steer
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Then half-way cross the distance
Comes the hand you love to hold
She’s reaching out to find you
From the storm clouds and the cold
Repeat Chorus and Outro

What a good choice to choose to address the "you" as someone outside the problem and wanting the best for "them". The change to minor at the bridge really works well to get our attention focused on the turning point.
