This song is about a relationship that has already broken up. Reflecting on the relationship, he wants to try again, but he remembers what happens ("We just lie about it, as we become shadows of ourselves") He doesn't want to be without her, but he also knows that she doesn't really care about him and that being together wouldn't be any different than before they broke up. He is having a conflict within himself of whether or not the relationship should have another try, and even though it's obvious it won't work, he is still wondering.
