"Young and full of running
Tell me where's that taking me?
Just a great figure 8 or a tiny infinity"
-I think what he's saying in these lines is that he's been running away from love and feels that hasn't taken him anywhere. When referring to a great figure 8 he means he's just basically going in circles, going nowhere. The tiny infinity he is talking about a sideways 8, which sybolizes infinity when applying it to math.
"For all of my trying
You still end up dying
How can it be?"
-As for this line, i believe it means that no matter how hard he tries in the relationship it still doesn't work out. And he doesn't understand why.
"I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe"
-I find meaning in this line from personal experience: He wants her so bad that he'll go back on his own rules, morals, values, etc. just to be with here.
You can understand this feeling if you've ever been passionately in love with someone, whether that love is good or bad,it is still full of passion.

"Young and full of running"
Familiarity with the playful 'dirty' versions of said John Mayer.. I imagine he might have began writing this song with a different word than 'running'... but it was a very good switch that adds to meaning of the song.

"so young"
Since he writes based on his own life.. and has tended to date older women.. he is still young relatively at 33 and not quite ready to 'settle down'. The media gives him a hard time about that.. which is kind of weird considering his honesty about it..
"There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me"
So honest.. Even though you may break up with someone it still isn't easy to fully 'let go', especially if the relationship hasn't fully played out and you end up on and off again for awhile during the process.. it's a painful loss even for the breaker-upper..
Adding to it.. "Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see"
"set fire to everything i see"... His desire for her.. really worked up.. the following says it all.....
"Steady my breathing, silently screaming,
"I have to have you now"
"Wired and I'm tired
Think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor
Maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours"
There is definitely a dream element to it.. like if she doesn't come over he'll be falling asleep dreaming of being with her.. fantastically maybe the mattress will spin on it's axis and .. love that!
Wow... just love all these passionate lyrics... amazing, amazing John Mayer song.. powerful! What a great launch he's taken with this song and album.
