It's "I don't belong here any longer holding on this tight".
I thought it was about, like, right after a breakup. He's upset and bitter and trying to let go. She's been lying to him, maybe about why they broke up, or maybe those lies like "I want to spend some time alone" or whatever.
The second verse is about how right after a breakup, if you're still around each other, you keep watching that person, keeping tabs or whatever. (Especially applicable in smal towns where you can't escape that shit.) He "gets closer with the silent treatment," meaning that he's trying to get over it by ignoring her, cutting her out of his life.
