The song is about our obsessions. Scott was obsessed and was fasinated with her when she was a young and atractive upcoming star. Later after all that faded and she dissapeared out of the spotlight he still had the memories and how she made him feel even though he had no chance with her. Yet he says that "you seemed to always understand" as in his fantasies all is good. This is why he refers to the thought of her as being the darkest place inside of him because the time would better be pent on current relationships rather than faded fantasies.
