I understand the song to be about two people who are interested in each other, but let their ambitions get in the way. The singer is cool about it though, he seems to understand that is the nature of how things go, and he won't wait anymore, he's going to try his luck even with so much time passing and so much between them. But that's just my take, I don't know.
