The first verse he’s saying that both physically and mentally, he’s not going anywhere; he’s not moving, he’s stuck. And the same goes for this girl he speak of. Because of this long distance relationship she’s in, their love won’t last but she can’t see that due to her fear of her man falling out of love with her.
In the chorus, he saw her in the moonlight, and their paths crossed. I took this as he saw her in his sleep, he can only see her or be with her, in his dreams. But even in his dreams, their love is once again spoiled. She pulls away from him and shuts him out. He’s so close, but she won’t fully give herself to him (“But you shielded me from your glow/ Like a moth against your window”). And he won’t stop her, he’s too shy to make such a bold statement.
Next verse: He is so down from his emotions & feelings, he is just drifting along his ambitions; not taking action upon them. He was surprised that this girl & he connected, due to how fluttery both of their minds are (maybe), and he’s reflecting on this. However, she is still with the other fella, and this causes our main man to feel even more torn from her. Now, he too, can’t believe that the relationship the girl & he once had, is no longer there.
At the end he finds himself still broken and states that he won’t love another because he’s too scared that he will feel this pain once again.
