Seven a.m.,
The garbage truck beeps as it backs up
And I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away.
Could I push rewind?
The credits traverse signifying the end but I missed the best part.
Could we please go back to start?
Forgive my indecision
Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side.
But then again, a day will come when I want off that ride.
Eleven a.m.,
By now you would think that I would be up
But my bedsheets shade the heat of choices I've made.
And what did I find?
I never thought I could want someone so much
'Cause now you're not here and I'm knee deep in
That old fear.
Forgive my indecision... I am only a man
Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side.
But then again, a day will come when I want off that ride.
Twelve pm and my dusty telephone rings.
Heavy head up from my pillow, who could it be?
I hope it's you.
The garbage truck beeps as it backs up
And I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away.
Could I push rewind?
The credits traverse signifying the end but I missed the best part.
Could we please go back to start?
Forgive my indecision
Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side.
But then again, a day will come when I want off that ride.
Eleven a.m.,
By now you would think that I would be up
But my bedsheets shade the heat of choices I've made.
And what did I find?
I never thought I could want someone so much
'Cause now you're not here and I'm knee deep in
That old fear.
Forgive my indecision... I am only a man
Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side.
But then again, a day will come when I want off that ride.
Twelve pm and my dusty telephone rings.
Heavy head up from my pillow, who could it be?
I hope it's you.

"i am only a man"
"The garbage truck beeps as it backs up
And I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away"
"I never thought I could want someone so much
Cause now you're not here and I'm knee deep in that old fear
Forgive my indecision"
Its obvious i think!
I completely relate to this part:
"Twelve p.m. and my dusty telephone rings
Heavy head up from my pillow, who could it be?
I hope it's you"
Towards the end of this song it seems like he realizes that person was not good to him and he will move on:
"But then again, then again, then again the day has come and I want off that ride!"
Then in the second verse, he says, "My bedsheets shade the heat of choices I make," Meaning that he uses sleep as a way to hide his problems, or a way to mask them from other people. (Prefrebly his ex-girlfriend.) When he says, "And now you're not here..." He knows he has a chance to get her back, and how much better it would be if she was there with him.
"And the Chorus is saying, "Then again, what she did to you was inexcuseable." And at the end, Brandon decides to side with his conscience. "I want off this ride..."
He couldn't make a decision on how he felt about his girlfriend.
He breaks up with her.
He's depressed the next morning.
He's mulling over it and hoping the comfort of his bed will help.
He tries to excuse it by saying he's only human.
He realises he fucked up and is scared of being alone again.
It's too late (or is it).
Chorus, his personality is the ride and at the end he finally realises he wants off, to change.
--It's happened to me. I have a love/hate relationship with this song.
