This one is easy yet hard. The first part is the hard part, he hints at being young, under age, and afraid.
The second stanza hints at something is wrong with him or the relationship, perhaps an abortion? Or his suicidal tendencies. The third stanza also reinforces this idea with the notion of having to tell people about it.
The next few stanzas are about him not wanting his partner to leave him, and then he goes into a few stanzas about the end of the world via a massive flood, but the backing vocals sing about how the world continues to go about its business, and its all in his mind. The rest of it is addresses to his partner, about their love.
