The song for me referrs to him being suspended in time/space by the potential for a second chance at a failed relationship. The "and I wanna know, when you see things close enlarge they dissapear"(misread in the lyrics on this site) could be referring to him knowing the mystery behind the magic of happiness, showing it to be a rouse, misled set of feelings, a trick or just something which only seemed like magic. The truth shall set you free but if you've know where to go from that truth you may well feel suspended, rejected and beg to be taken back. At least you have an identity, a role a purpose. Here I don't think the singer has regained any of those things. The definite realisation of the relationship being finished has not come to him yet. He can come down when this realisation is shown to him either in the form of her being with someone else, "... alone or someone new, but I can't come down til you do". The initial suspension he feels "..I can't come down" is an obvious acknowledgement that he initially acknowledged the end, but the defence mechanism of him running and staying in suspension implies that he has not fully acknowledged it, or that he refuses to live with the acknowledgement. Maybe
