I think it's about knowing things between himself and this girl won't work out, because she has this side of herself that is very emotionally distant and careless with him, and he can see that things can't change, and he just wishes she would be open and honest with him and tell him why she's like that with him.
he wants some understanding. really I think the "sickness" is the hope he has or whatever, that extended "holding your breath" when someone is absent, and all you want is closure/a reason so that you can put things to rest...but until that person comes clean with you, you are merely spending your time waiting for them to do so. you feel sick and just wish the person in question would explain things already, and you wonder if she or he treats anyone else the same careless way they're treating you.
"can almost hear rollercoasters
see sailboats in the sea
hear noise and screaming
weaving in and out of
happy music box sounds,"
i adore these lines... they paint such a calm picture to me, grey skies, yet a warm summer day, waves lapping in the distance, bright lights on the horizon from the ferris wheel... beautiful! even the music itself makes me think of carnival games with spinning lights and tilt-a-whirls, cotton candy, clowns, toy boats, cards on bicycle wheels... it's a great song for relaxing.
