It's blatantly obvious (As several have already states) that this song is about the friction that is caused by them being apart. His girlfriend doesn't like that he is on the road 24/7 and that he can't be with her all the time. She wants him to focus on her instead of what he is doing, but he just can't or maybe he does but it never seems enough for her.
This song is probably based off of his real life. Several of the songs he wrote with SoCo revolve around the theme of being away from the person you love as well because of being on the road constantly.

"And you're in pieces
As your world becomes a rainstorm
You've got no shelter I'm a thousand miles away
If you survive the day
You say your leaving
You say your leaving
Well, I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days my... reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much
"
"I had these dreams that I might learn to play guitar
maybe across the country - become a rockstar
and there was hope in me that I could take you there
but dammit you're so young
well I don't think I care and if I hurt you then I'm sorry
please don't think that this was easy..."
one note, where was this song released? Was it on a single? or an import version of the album? I didn't even know it existed til i decided to check lyrics online instead of just looking at the cd booklet...
I could be totally wrong, but here's my take.
