He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
I'ma keep dreaming in these dark days
'Cause you never know, you never know
Oh, all that pain that I picked up on the way
I just let it go
I always cross the line, even when I'm left behind
I'm headed for the sky, can't stop my two feet
Am I invincible? Am I more than typical?
'Cause I'm just tryna be way out
Yeah, all this time
You said I'd never make it on my own, my own
But I'm more than typical, I feel invincible
Yeah, I'm about to be way out
I'ma keep dreaming in these dark days
'Cause you never know, you never know
Oh, all that pain that I picked up on the way
I just let it go, let it go
They gon' be watching me someday
'Cause I'ma be bigger than they say, whoa
Just keep dreaming in these dark days
'Cause you never know, you never know
X-ray vision through the doors; heavyweight, I break the walls
Making movement, keeping scores, step to my own beat
Some try to steal my crown, but they'll never bring me down
'Cause I'm just tryna be way out
Yeah, all this time
You said I'd never make it on my own, my own
But I'm more than typical, I feel invincible
Yeah, I'm about to be way out
I'ma keep dreaming in these dark days
'Cause you never know, you never know
Oh, all that pain that I picked up on the way
I just let it go, let it go
They gon' be watching me someday
'Cause I'ma be bigger than they say, whoa
Just keep dreaming in these dark days
'Cause you never know, you never know
I'ma keep dreaming, never ever falling back
Step back, step back, step back
Hands to the ceiling, never ever going back
Stand back, stand back, stand back, oh
I'ma keep dreaming in these dark days
'Cause you never know, you never know
Oh, all that pain that I picked up on the way
I just let it go, let it go
They gon' be watching me someday
'Cause I'ma be bigger than they say, whoa
Just keep dreaming in these dark days
'Cause you never know, you never know
You never know
You never know, you never know
You never know
You never know, you never know
You never know
'Cause you never know, you never know
Oh, all that pain that I picked up on the way
I just let it go
I always cross the line, even when I'm left behind
I'm headed for the sky, can't stop my two feet
Am I invincible? Am I more than typical?
'Cause I'm just tryna be way out
Yeah, all this time
You said I'd never make it on my own, my own
But I'm more than typical, I feel invincible
Yeah, I'm about to be way out
I'ma keep dreaming in these dark days
'Cause you never know, you never know
Oh, all that pain that I picked up on the way
I just let it go, let it go
They gon' be watching me someday
'Cause I'ma be bigger than they say, whoa
Just keep dreaming in these dark days
'Cause you never know, you never know
X-ray vision through the doors; heavyweight, I break the walls
Making movement, keeping scores, step to my own beat

'Cause you never know, you never know

'Cause I'ma be bigger than they say, whoa
Just keep dreaming in these dark days
'Cause you never know, you never know
You never know
You never know, you never know
You never know
You never know, you never know

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 song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”
