First off I think the last line is "He's scared 'cause I won't."
With that said I think this song is about a girl watching a boy fall in love with her.
He's watching her and making sure she doesn't leave him like she said she might.
At the same time he's scared that she may want it all (his love) and that is like taboo to him, you just don't talk about it. The flip side of that is that if she doesn't want everything, then "what do I do now."
And as they sit there studying each other, seeing if she'll fall for him and he seeing if she'll run away, the clock ticks away. Nothing is happening to better or worsen the relationship "the clock is slow."
The six colored pictures of a marigold just reiterates that point because nothing changes between the six different pictures of a flower.
