.Ver.ti.go.16. may be wrong on where the title came from, but I have a tough time believing that what he mentioned was a coincidence. I could just see Jesse thinking of this song as though he was the man on that ship that wished for everyone else on the ship to be saved, but not himself.
I can't help, but think this was the song he wrote to explain the feeling of how when you love someone more than yourself and their happiness is more important to you than your own you have no choice but to accept the "funeral" or death of the relationship. I'm thinking of his issue with his girlfriend and John from TBS. The issue I'm sure sent shockwaves through their friends and, now I'm speaking from experience he lashed out at his friends because they couldn't do anything to help him or stop it from happening.
In my view the guy in the song talks about how he said he'd do anything for the girl, but never really realized how true it actually was until things fell apart. Now however he is powerless to show her because all she wants is a funeral. She wants him to die out of her life, but he knows if she'd just give him "one more day to give his love and repay debts" to her he is positive he could show her how perfect they are. Once she refuses to do so he is willing to die just to save her and make her happy. But at the same time he is fighting with the fact that if he is willing to disappear from her life to make her happy there is nothing he wouldn't do and he feels that if that's the case there is no way they shouldn't or couldn't be together.
