Lyric discussion by mickeymouselalaland 

Ok, I could be wrong but when I first listened to this song, I thought it was about a romantic relationship, either a couple has broken up and one wants to get back togehter or a guy wanting to be with a girl.

Here's the first one. The guy has gotten to the point where if he doesn't do anything, he'll fall apart or if he does manage to get together with the girl, then he'll make it in time. Something about his heart beating faster whenever he thinks of her and the realization is there.

The second one I like more. The part about "Blood cells pixelate" and "Eyes dilate", I always thought it meant is whenever he sees her, either he's falling in love with her all over again or he realizes that he was always in love in with her. In order to make himself not think about this all the time, he does other things to occupy himself.

The "Cut it loose, Watch you work the room" part, I have a feeling it means he sees her from a distance and knows what she's been through and how she's living her life. All he wants to do is help. He loves her alot and wants her to see that.

So, that's my take on it. I've also read the other intepretations and they're pretty sound.

I have more to add.

When I first heard this song, I thought it was "Could it last" instead of "Cut it loose".

If it were "Could it last", it would also make sense. Going with the second interpretation I thought of, he's wondering if she can really keep up with what she's doing with her life. He's not trying to mean or anything, rather he's just wanting to know how long it will take her to realize that she doesn't have to alone anymore.
