I could be about that fragile time right before you get to the relationship where both parties are putting cards out on the table. He's really invested, but she is one of those girls who is too nice to just say no and he thinks she's invested too. "I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth."
It may be obvious that he is shooting a little high, which is why "Everyone knows I'm in over my head."
"I wish you were a stranger I could disengage"... he wishes he could blow her off like she is blowing him off, and not be hurt.
"With eight seconds left in overtime"...It appears that he may still have a small chance depending on what sport he is thinking of. 8 seconds is still enough to make a shot in basketball.
"She's on your mind"... This could be a 3rd party. Another has entered the picture and he doesn't stand a chance.
Basically, it's about a guy getting jerked around by a girl who was too nice to just say no.
And when you say the person doesn't stand a chance after "she's on your mind" at the end of your comment, can I just add: maybe he doesn't stand a chance because the third party cares more about the girl than he does? I agree w/ everything you said though. :)
