I have a friend who is in a bad relationship, and one day I was listening to this song, and it made me think of her. She think's she's in love (heart in a headlock) but I know that she should know better (you know you're better than this)
I'd say it's about being concerned about someone that is possibly making some bad decisions, and the singer is trying to look out for them, and snap them out of it.
I’ve been walking, you’ve been hiding,
And you look half dead half the time.
Monitoring you, like machines do,
You’ve still got it, I’m just keeping an eye.
I’ve been walking, you’ve been hiding,
And you look half dead half the time.
Monitoring you, like machines do,
You’ve still got it, I’m just keeping an eye.
You say too late to start, got your heart in a headlock,
I don’t believe any of it.
You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,
You know you’re better than this.
You keep telling yourself it’s too late to start another relationship (with me) because another man has your heart in a headlock. Maybe not by you being uncontrollably in love with him but by the commitment you’ve made for over 3 years and the pressures and expectations placed upon the two of you to last by everyone involved. You know if you aren’t 100% happy and sure of your relationship that you shouldn’t settle, but your heart is in a headlock; without the freedom to choose without disappointing people or breaking hearts. I can’t believe you’re the kind of girl to settle.
With big intention, still posted at your station
Always on about the day it should have flown.
I have always been here by your side; waiting for you. Waiting for the day that you’ll do what you know is right in your heart. He has you’re heart in a headlock and you’ve got mine. I will continue to be here; secretly waiting for you to find the strength in yourself as I see it so. As frustrating as it may be, here I’ll wait for you.

I’ve been walking through life freely and openly after making the hard decision to break up with the Fiancée that I knew wasn’t a perfect match for me. I chose not to settle while you witnessed the complexity and disappointment associated with our break-up. You also witnessed the recovery period; where I soul-searched and found myself and peace in love and the decision I made. Despite this, you’re...
I’ve been walking through life freely and openly after making the hard decision to break up with the Fiancée that I knew wasn’t a perfect match for me. I chose not to settle while you witnessed the complexity and disappointment associated with our break-up. You also witnessed the recovery period; where I soul-searched and found myself and peace in love and the decision I made. Despite this, you’re hiding behind the comfort and rhythm of your 3 year-long relationship instead of doing what you know is right: ending it. You hide behind the everyday routine to avoid breaking hearts and serving disappointment, but at the cost of your happiness. I’ve been watching you and noticed how you’re different when he’s around. You seem restricted and unsure of yourself. I see you sleeping too much and refusing to wake-up because in your dreams you are free and you don’t want to return to the life you feel trapped inside. I’ve seen what you’re capable of and I’m here to reassure you that you’ve still got the freedom of choice.
