this song is about being in love with the right person at the wrong time. the right person is your best friend and loving them is this amazingly complicated thing because you know how perfect or near perfect it could be but the feelings are simply not recipricated. Its hard being there everyday having to fuction as if these sentiments are not existant ("i'm running out of places to hide"). And it is this hidding that kills, it is slowly killing you because love become a part of you and you cant hide who you are. i also think there was a relationship there at some point and it was ended or simply went sour for the best friend ("with the "what did you do?" and the "what did you say?").
