I think this song is talking about breaking up. It could be that the narrator is wanting to lay out just what that means for the other person, hence the "in a matter of time, you would slip from my mind." It's about not knowing what you have until it is gone.
The end makes me think the reason for break up is because its too controlling of a relationship (maybe even abusive) when she sing's "only time can run me" and "more, you want more."
