Blink-182 – Even If She Falls Lyrics 13 years ago
I think it's about a guy who wants a girl, but he can't have her for some reason (he has a girlfriend, for example). He feels really attracted to her, and would like to be with her, but he knows it can't be. So he doesn't want her to fall in love with him, and he knows he's such a fool for feeling like this, but he can't help it. He feels way too attacted to her: she's mysterious and cold, and that's driving him mad. He knows he shouldn't, but he still wants to conquer that heart of steel... even if she falls in love.
The fact that he sees her like a "starry night" makes me think he mostly sees her at night... Late at night when he's all alone he sees her in his head. Up there in his mind, he can't touch her ("almost never real") like a star in the sky, she's unreachable. He doesn't see her often, but he thinks about her a lot.
That's why when the night will begin, the pain it won't end. He wants to turn back, he wants to stop feeling like this and get his life back to normal but he can't. His heart will attack and even if she falls in love, he will still want her.
When they'll see each other he won't be sure about her feelings, so he tries to look in her eyes for an answer. The light is just right, and what he sees is what really is: she has feelings for him too but he doesn't know if she might end up falling in love. And then again, the pain won't end and it will drive him mad... He doesn't know what to do, and even he tries to convince himself it isn't so bad to feel the way he does, he's still confused.
So bottom line, I think it's a complicated relationship: they're really really attacted to one another, but they both know they can't be together for different reasons. They don't want to fall in love because they know it will end up hurting a lot and causing them pain, they know it will never work out. So even they try to be friends, they can't help being attracted to each other. And when they see each other, the desire is so big it drives them crazy, and for a moment they don't really care if they fall in love, they just want to be together.
