Judging from the other opinions, I could be wrong, but I thought that the meaning of the song was pretty clear.
Here Goes:
I think that it is about a guy and a girl that are having sex and know that it is wrong (since Emery is a christian band, opposing sex out o' marriage) but can't help "having" each other because they are soo in love. Each partner realizes the destructive pattern, like
"We're burning the pages and hurting ourselves with this 'False Start'"
The lyrics are soo sweet, kinda romantic actually (not to sound gay or anything) but it's obvious the couple is soo emotionally AND physically attached to each other. They are Crazy in Love-but the sex just seems to complicate things
"I wanted to mean everything to you, but this isn't right. You keep coming back disassembled and I keep losing this fight"
I think it's sweet and sad cause' I can relate to the song. Sex is awesome, but can change the tone of a relationship scratch that can change a relationship entirely and end in a heart-wrenching breakup. Bottom line: I think the song is trying to persuade people to Abstinence.
