He certainly did earn that reputation.
All the phones have rung and rung
They're off the hook, all but one
And all the mail, stacked up inside
Up from the floor, a mile high
And like one would, like a child
I'm asking...
Like I could knock on your door
Will you let me in
Dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth, it's all a big lie
I found out the words are hard to describe
To tell you I'm lost here, I'm waiting reply
Climbing trees and paper planes
Like as akid, we're all the same
Tears of joy with sullen hearts
Sticks and stones and broken arms
And like one would, like a child
I'm asking...
Like I could knock on your door
Will you let me in
Dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth, it's all a big lie
I found out the words are hard to describe
To tell you I'm lost here, I'm waiting reply
I felt I was wrong and it's not you or I
Or anyone else that you chose that night
It seems like the madness, the choice and the light
Have made it all clear if we run and hide
(Intrumental)
Dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth, it's all a big lie
I found out the words are hard to describe
To tell you I'm lost here, I'm waiting, goodbye
I felt I was wrong and it's not you or I
Or anyone else that you chose that night
It seems like the madness, the choice and the light
Have made it all clear if we run and hide
They're off the hook, all but one
And all the mail, stacked up inside
Up from the floor, a mile high
And like one would, like a child
I'm asking...
Like I could knock on your door
Will you let me in
Dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth, it's all a big lie
I found out the words are hard to describe
To tell you I'm lost here, I'm waiting reply
Climbing trees and paper planes
Like as akid, we're all the same
Tears of joy with sullen hearts
Sticks and stones and broken arms
And like one would, like a child
I'm asking...
Like I could knock on your door
Will you let me in
Dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth, it's all a big lie
I found out the words are hard to describe
To tell you I'm lost here, I'm waiting reply

Or anyone else that you chose that night

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.

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
epic... EPIC, song.
