I think this song is about a guy who likes a girl and thinks maybe she likes him back but it wouldn't work out because of social barriers. He's messing up the signals and he wants to leave the situation and forget and hope that she follows him, he wants a definite sign.
"I appreciate, now that they choose to ignore
I can't set her free to go without a payment"
The "people" or whatever, the society that sets the social boundaries didn't get involved but as he's trying to break away he has pain, kinda like a payment plan on his pain until he totally forgets her.
Honestly, the way Saosin writes is somewhat abstract and it's hard to decipher and I could be completely wrong, but that's what it means to me.
