nodnod Like Freestyle said, it's about a guy who's in love with a girl, and she doesn't return his feelings. But it seems to me that although he still has feelings for her, he's not terribly thrilled with her. My reasoning: the first part of the chorus is not the nicest thing you could say to someone, "if I die, I won't be the one who sticks around," but the second part is sort of giving in, "if I'm awake, I won't let you down." Though this could also be interpreted as saying, " if I'm not going to be alive with you at all, I won't bother hanging around for you, but if I'm still here, then I'm not going to stop pursuing you." Sort of a spinoff of the prayer, 'if i die before I wake,' that sort of thing.
