First of all I believe this song is about different levels of commitment in a relationship, and that, obviously, is symbilized by the elevator. Overall, I think the speaker is apprehensive about going to the next level, or being brought up to the next floor, because he will hurt whoever he's with by ending the relationship and letting the elevator fall. The lines "Wake me... your name" are kinda hazy to me, but I think he's referring to what she'll experience after it falls. And the part that gives me the greatest idea of what he's talking about is the part from "In an innocent way" to "around on the ground", because he says he wishes he could stay on the ground, on the lowest level, "fooling around", just carelessly accepting the relationship with levity. But that's just my interpretation...
