My interpretation of the song is that the singer likes a girl, and is trying to figure out whether or not she likes him back. He can't tell by her facial expressions whether she's encouraging him or not.

"Sunday's best is hopeless" - He tries to wear nice clothing to impress her, but it doesn't seem to work.

"Dying to let you know, I thought so" - He thinks she might like him back, but is too timid to tell her

"Hoping I get over, sleeping the days away, why suffer?" - He's depressed because he can't bring himself to tell her. He hopes he gets over his crush, and because of his depression, sleeps the days away.

"Expression keeps you nowhere" - He can't tell by her facial expressions whether she's interested in him or not

"Frantic I missed the glance twice over" - She might have given him looks that expressed her interest in him, but he really doesn't know. Either way, he hasn't acted on it, and is scared that he missed multiple oppurtunities to ask her out.

I'm not sure about the next line at all, though.

But yeah, this song really rocks.
