I myself see/hear a story in this song.
here is my take.
You said you couldn't stay
You'd seen it all before
I know
They sold you on their way
Oh honey that's ok
I guess she is saying that she won't get into any relationships no more cuz "they sold her on her way"
he says it doesnt matter to him it ok
No harm, he's armed
Setting off all your alarms
When I find out
I hope it's you who set this trap
Right here the girl finds someone she likes (guy2) and he is setting off all her alarms as in turning off. so she feels good with him. The guy (guy1) is hoping its not really happening cuz he likes her and hopes its just a trick or lie.
And storefronts rarely change
At least I'm on my own again instead of
Anywhere with you
but to me it's all the same
right here guy1 is seeing her with guy2 and by storefronts rarely change he means things never change kind of like he foresees what will happen with them. he is on his own because she is with guy2 and comforts himself by saying that he is on his own instead of anywhere with her in other words he is better off without her but he doesnt really feel different because he might be confused or emotional.
And I've lost my page again
I know this is surreal
But I'll try my luck with you
This life is on my side
Oh I am your one
Believe me, this is a chance
The first line shows guy1 "lost his page again" meaning he is either choosing between to options or messed up again. second and third line show he is saying fuck it I'll try my luck with her like probably ask her out or something and its rare for him to do decisions like that when he probably just lets things go by. fourth line shows that suddenly going right for him or will improve soon.
fifth and sixth he is determined to be with here and wants her to give him a chance.
Let's see what is for sale
He's trying hard to give his job a chance
It's never gonna be
It's sad, but I agree
The signals don't seem right
It lasts for just one night, and then
I'm sorry that I said
That we were just good friends
first line he is saying lets see what is new whats happening. Second line he hasnt tried his luck with her probably because he changed his mind and is trying currently hard to do his "job" which is trying his luck with her. Then he thinks things wont work out between them. He wants her really badly but is confused about it and got his chance to be with her but turned it down by saying that " they were Just good friends" and he regrets turning it down. he might have thought she was confused or something and thats why he turned it down but regrets it.
No harm, he's armed
Setting off all your alarms
Entranced, I can't
Be there in time I'll think about that
Again guy2 is is being really good with her and guy1 is entranced to see its working between her and guy2 and the last line says he wont win her over time and now he can only ponder it.
And I've lost my page again
I know this is surreal
But I'll try my luck with you
This life is on my side
Well I am your one
Believe me, this is a chance
Again he is confused or not caring and has decided to try his luck with her. Things are going his way or he is determined to make them go his in efforts to show her that he is the on for her . he wants her to believe him and trust him.
