I'm not around that much, running
Exhausted and lost
If it could be undone
Will it have costed?
It's taught and lost
Blowing away we stray, wilted
Exalted, at fault
What if the day had stayed in bed
These baubles, we've brought
At fault
After the bliss has long ended
This caution, this fault
Give me a breeze that's long-winded
Accosted, adult, arrested
Exhausted and lost
If it could be undone
Will it have costed?
It's taught and lost
Blowing away we stray, wilted
Exalted, at fault
What if the day had stayed in bed
These baubles, we've brought
At fault
After the bliss has long ended
This caution, this fault
Give me a breeze that's long-winded
Accosted, adult, arrested

I had no idea what the song meant, but after looking up "accosted" and one of its meanings being "to solicit for sex," it makes more sense.
The first verse talks about why he feels the need and then if it could be undone will it still cost money? Like... will asking for sex and the act not even happening still cost me because the act is still almost committed, which is bad enough.
Then the second verse talks about him getting away from the girl he cheated with, never seeing each other again.
The third is about how he feels... after the sex (bliss) is over, he's left with that terrible feeling of guilt. He wants something to get him away from this scene, but the idea of him being arrested tells him that he's going to have to live with it forever.
