no wait it was relevant, well half of it. the bulletproof vest bit is obviously for another song.
Basically I think this song is about him having to tip toe around somebody to keep them happy, he does so much for her to "save confrontation" but she doesn't appreciate it at all shown in the line "you say I'm useless as a million miles of cellotape"
He walks on eggshells for her, putting himself in "this awkward position" for her benefit and it's starting to ruin their friendship
"I can't make you, and I can't see you fall
I can't help you, help you see at all"
He realises at the end of the song that he cannot help her if she's not going to listen to him and resigns to the fact that she cannot be made to see what she's doing wrong and thus cannot be helped.
