‘Boy’ (Anthony Green) and ‘Girl’ are friends. ‘Boy’ develops feelings for ‘Girl’. There is always some sort of feeling between them. Girl likes a different ‘Guy’ now, ‘Boy’ (Anthony) confesses his love to her. She doesn’t bite. She goes with this new ‘Guy’.
Proof -
Can we last through the winter? - (Symbolism of coldness, all things die in winter, including their friendship. Anthony is questioning whether or not it will last etc)
... Taking the wrong step, falling in front of me (the girl took the wrong step, and chose another guy, and feel for him, right in front of Anthony)
This body is already aging; these nights are already long (meaning he is tired of waiting for her to be his)
If I last through the winter, I swear to you now I wont call, Congratulations, go home now. (Pretty self explanatory, if he can last the winter without her then he never wants to see her again, and the ‘congratulations’ is basically reflecting the moment when she tells him that she’s with this other guy, he wants nothing more to do with her, thus asking her to leave)
... I never wanted a partner, I never loved you, now you are free to leave.. (Basically he is denying ever having those feelings for her, trying to hurt her like she hurt him)
This heart is already frozen, I can’t remember the fall, and if I last through the winter I swear to you now I wont call (basically, he is already trying to give up, he cant remember the fall, meaning like the beginning, because it comes before winter, but also hints at when he initially fell for her)
.. It must be buried under the heart, that makes this pace consistent (basically, he is saying, she must have some feelings for me in there somewhere, that is why our friendship and closeness has remained so tight and consistent)
You’ll find it torn, that gate's been opened. and I’ve been wondering if you've been real with us. (She will find her heart torn, the opportunity has been presented to her, and if she doesn’t take him, he will wonder if their friendship was real at all)
It’s too late. It’s that start stop and go, you've been dying for. (Essentially, its the wondering and the flirting that she craves, the ‘chase’)
Alrighty guys. This song is pretty simple.

I think you're right, in the live version he say, " I'll always love you" instead of what it actually says. So it shows the uncertainty of it all.
