this song is about a guy who is in a relation with a girl. at first its all great and everyone thinks their the cutest couple. but he starts feeling trapped
"But after awhile, you're lookin' the other way
It's those restless hearts that never mend

@Magicblue22 I agree that this song is about losing a girl.

Tears on your shoulder." Emphasis on "just" hold her, "only" hold her. Then he regrets losing her so he sticks around: "And he[the new kid]'s holding her, and you're still around."
