Having listened to this song probably about 500 times in the last 24 hours, I'm here to talk about it.
The overall mood of this song is the singer in crisis about a relationship, that may or may not have just gone through a recent break up. As you can see, he repeats past tense words as well as present tense, making my point more true.
The first stanza: He talks about how he wanted to show all the flaws in the relationship, only he didn't(for some unknown reason). This could have been that he was in fear that it would ruin the relationship failing, or a number of other ones.
The second stanza: He talks more about what he wanted to do in the relationship. He wanted to curl up beside them, and die, to see how they react. If they reacted in horror, like he knew they would, he would stay with them. This stanza is mainly highlighting some what of a day dream he had, where he and his girl would be happy at last.
The Chorus: He talks about how their kidding themselves. This is refering to how the issue that they're having and won't lead to any permanent damage in the relationship. He believes that over time, it will fix, and they'll be happy. He's just waiting patiently as the other person figures out they're doing. This also states how he would never leave the person, because he would never want to be alone.
Fourth stanza: In this section he speaks of how they will be acting that night. Lets go back to the old times, remember why we're together, and be happy again.
Chorus again: The same as the first time, only an added line. He's "lucky to find cardboard in an alley way" that he can call home. This is saying that he's not very lucky with finiding a person to live with and love. This implies that he is indeed desperate, and suggests that this song might be a desperate cry of hope, which will in the end fail.
The chorus repeats, and it's over. This ends with him requesting that the girl keeps her eyes on him, so that some day they will be back together again. Even though he can, he would never leave the girl, and he wishes with all of his heart that she will stay with him and pay attention, so they will work it out.
I hope I hit the nail on the head, it'd be good. Thanks for reading! =)
