Lyric discussion by buchos 

I think that this song is about a guy who wants to be with this girl, but he knows that it is not a possibility and that no mater what he does he know that he will become "part of her past", and despite all this he still hangs on, even though he is over his head and has no chance he still cant help but to think of her ever moment, even with 8 seconds left in the game there she is on his mind. that is what i thank anyways.

That's what I get from it. I'm in the situation currently and that's what I feel when listening to this song, being in over my head trying to stay relevant and in the game for her affections.

agreed

I agree, too. I also believe that it's bugging him so much that "I wish you were a stranger I could disengage." Anyway, awesome song! :)
