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.
Not a lover not a fighter
Always out of my league
Sometimes maybe
Life ain't what it seems
There's a man in the back say's
I gotta keep still
Someone at the front door
Says just do what you will
Do what you will!
My ears are ringing
With voices unclear
The sun is setting
Is it love or is it fear
I'm angry
I'm an angry young man
When love ain't enough
Angry-I'm an angry young man when
My heart's gettin' tough
I'm an angry young man
Yes I am!
Running down the alley
On a hot summer's day
Fellin kinda dangerous-trouble
One step away
Well I'm walkin' the walk
And I'm talkin' the talk
But when it comes to lovin'
I'm alone in the dark
Yes I am!
Runnin' on empty under the gun
The pressure's building
The storm has just begun...
Angry
I'm an angry young man
When love ain't enough
Angry-I'm an angry young man when
My heart's gettin' tough
Angry I'm an angry young man when
I can't get enough
I'm an angry young man
When push comes to shove
I'm an angry young man!
Give it to me!
I got emotional baggage
That I drag around
With all this dirty laundry
I gotta get outa town
Yes I do!
Say hello to my demons
I count then as friends
Ain't no denyin they'll be here till
The end.
'Cause I'm angry...
Angry, angry I feel hopeless
Angry angry, I love my face.
Always out of my league
Sometimes maybe
Life ain't what it seems
There's a man in the back say's
I gotta keep still
Someone at the front door
Says just do what you will
Do what you will!
My ears are ringing
With voices unclear
The sun is setting
Is it love or is it fear
I'm angry
I'm an angry young man
When love ain't enough
Angry-I'm an angry young man when
My heart's gettin' tough
I'm an angry young man
Yes I am!
Running down the alley
On a hot summer's day
Fellin kinda dangerous-trouble
One step away
Well I'm walkin' the walk
And I'm talkin' the talk
But when it comes to lovin'
I'm alone in the dark
Yes I am!
Runnin' on empty under the gun
The pressure's building
The storm has just begun...
Angry
I'm an angry young man
When love ain't enough
Angry-I'm an angry young man when
My heart's gettin' tough
Angry I'm an angry young man when
I can't get enough
I'm an angry young man
When push comes to shove
I'm an angry young man!
Give it to me!
I got emotional baggage
That I drag around
With all this dirty laundry
I gotta get outa town
Yes I do!
Say hello to my demons
I count then as friends
Ain't no denyin they'll be here till
The end.
'Cause I'm angry...
Angry, angry I feel hopeless
Angry angry, I love my face.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

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"
