Lyric discussion by Kirstabulous 

I think it is about a guy who is dating a girl, but is clueless. Basically he feels lost & she spells things out for him "you bought me a book"

He is afraid of disappointing her, but even though he is "absent minded" he is eager to become a good boyfriend (Just keep telling me facts) because he enjoys her company (And keep making me smile). He asks her to be understanding (You've got to be more discerning), and keep trying because he wants to be with her really bad(I will be yours).

She really cares about him (you told me you wanted to eat up my sadness) and he wants her to continue to pursue him (Baby, you've got to be more demanding). He asks why she is hesistant, most likely in frustration because he is too (What are you holding out for?). Ultimately he is afraid he will lose her, because he is hesitant too. He asks her to pursue him more aggressively, because he lacks the self confidence to do it himself. And the whole situation is taking a toll on him emotionally.(This modern love breaks me).

At the end he is desperate to be with her again and simply asks her to come over and "kill some time". And then to "throw your arms around me". He has never felt feelings so strong before he is uncertain of how he should show them.

Best definition for me and my situation so far. You've really summed up how I feel about everything! I love this song and thankyou for your opinion :) Live well x
