The Lumineers Lyrics
Pack yourself a toothbrush dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Take a withdrawal slip
Take all of your savings out
'Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out
I was not born to drown
Baby come on
Forget what Father Brennan said
We were not born in sin
Leave a note on your bed
Let your mother know you're safe
And by the time she wakes
We'll have driven through the state
We'll have driven through the night
Baby come on
If the sun don't shine on me today
And if the subways flood and bridges break
Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave
Or will you rail against your dying day
And when we looked outside
Couldn't even see the sky
How do you pay the rent
Is it your parents
Or is hard work dear
Holding the atmosphere
I don't wanna live like that, yeah
If the sun don't shine on me today
If the subways flood and bridges break
Jesus Christ can't save me tonight
Put on your dress, yes wear something nice
Decide on me, yea decide on us
Oh, oh, oh, Illinois, Illinois
Pack yourself a toothbrush dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Take a withdrawal slip
Take all of your savings out
'Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out

Interpretation…
“Sleep on the floor” is an indirect way of saying get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Real relationships.
The intro is visioned with a funeral, but I think there is a deeper meaning with context of a relationship(s).
It’s really a break-up/parting ways message.
The sacrifice of comfortability is what challenges the strengths in our relationship(s). The uncomfortableness really is a tests for us.
If we don’t take the chances that were once prompted with, we risk the possibility of what could have been. That’s the fear of unknowing.
What prevails are those defining moments. What was felt and left, especially after things didn’t work out, is our feeling of what love is, and that’s what we will forever chase.

Whenever I hear this song the same melancholic feel strikes hard enough to make me want to go back to the very first moment the girl I loved the most in my entire life showed me this song. As most of comments here we started with the most exciting emotion of finally meeting the love of our life, she was far for from perfection but God knows I tried the best to achieve our goals, in the end it felt as I was the only one commiting to it and when betrayal came, I couldn't forgive even if I loved her like no one else. Now I return to this song every time I want to taste the love I lost and the part of my life I cherish the most.
