I think this song is about being obsessed with somebody, and not being able to have them. All they can do is watch the one they want over their wall. Makes me think of the phrase ''so close and yet so far''... I think the person has just got to the point where they just don't have anything left to loose anymore. They have alcohol and drug problems ''Problems with the booze'' ''Problems with the gear'' and they have just kept telling themself that all they need is this one person. In the second verse i think its realisation of how low they have become and that deep down they know that even if they had this person the world wouldn't be a perfect place. Hence why instead of saying '''Cause you're the one Who makes me feel much taller than you are '' (in the first verse) it says ''The one that makes me seem to feel much taller than you are''
An amazing song...
