Mmkay, I'm gonna put how this ties to V's inner conflict, just because that's what this song always reminds me of.

V's waiting for Evey to return to him before the 5th. He's second-guessing whether he should go through with it, because he knows he's going to die. He doesn't want to die yet, because he found someone he loves. But, he's convincing himself that he needs to go through with it ("What comes is better than what came before"). So, he's just wishing that she'll come through with her promise, and come to see him one last time before he dies.

On a personal note, this song reminds me of a mutual break-up. They decided that the situation wasn't good for a relationship, and they should hold off on being together. But, the narrarator is wondering if it was the right thing, and if they're really gonna get together after all.
