Lyric discussion by Castro93 

I heard this music for the first time in Need for Speed: Underground 2, it took me 8 years to understand the meaning of this music.

"It's the cruelest joke to play I'm so high, I run in place Only a line, we separate, so..."

This means he started to have a mental breakdown since his girlfriend broke up with him, and the "Line they separated" mean they have gone to separate ways.

[Chorus] "I keep on playing our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all I've got when you're in my head And you're in my head so I need it"

The man puts the song which best represented the couple, and he turned the volume higher when she had gone and she means a very important thing to him and he needs her.

"You're the only thing I've got That I can't seem to get enough We collide for one embrace, so..."

She was the only thing he had in his bad days and he wants to hug her to feel better.

[Chorus 2x]

"Hurry up and wait forever Hurry up and wait for forever"

It means that he believes he will not have a new chance to see her again.

[Chorus 2x]

"I need it I need it I need it Now"

Even with all the things happening above, he still wants her and now.

The real reason i could understand this music is because i am in a very similar situation.
