He certainly did earn that reputation.
It really sucks to give your heart to a girl
You want to know her like she knows the whole world
But 10 seconds in, it's obvious, your going nowhere
She makes you tell her that she's your best friend
You tell her things you know won't make her mad
Don't want to be the one to say things are going nowhere
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I don't want to talk
I don't want to rock
I don't want to wait by the phone, and,
I don't want to tell you I love you
Don't want to tell you I love you, anymore!!!
It's hard to live outside her safety zone
Cause you remember being all alone
Two kinds of misery and either way, you're going nowhere
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I don't want to talk
I don't want to rock
I don't want to wait by the phone, and,
I don't want to tell you I love you
Don't want to tell you I love you, anymore!
And she makes me want to be a homosexual
Maybe I'll be her best friend, maybe see her naked once in a while
I don't want to talk
I don't want to rock
I don't want to talk
I don't want to rock
I don't want to wait by the phone, and,
I don't want to tell you I love you
Don't want to tell you I love you, anymore!

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Please, post that a few more times, I didn't get it.
