I think many songs can be interpreted in a few different ways, this being one of them.
"I can't believe I didn't say this sooner. I'll just believe that I was all displaced. I'll get to speaking, and let you know how I feel."
(I tihnk he may be talking about someone who he may really really care about, but they are unaware of his feelings. He regrets not mentioning it sooner. He's telling himself he had a reason not to, he tells himself that he was displaced and trying to figure things out. He then says in an almost 'I'm lying but I'll be convincing" way, that he'll get to speaking, get to telling them how he feels... sometime. This is the part that I really connect with the most.
He then says "I'll get to acting, make you all believe me."
(I think tihs is again referring to how he is pretending to be unemotional or somewaht detached, or covers his feelings, the same thing with the next line about faking.)
"No one will ever see things the way I do, no one will try. All my friends think I'm gone, but I swear I'm not."
(I think he's trying to sort of explain or justify his fake behavoir. He's saying that even if he tried explaining his emotions, no one would see it like him because no one cares for this person like him. He's saying his friends would think him crazy or a lost cause, but he's not.)
I really love this song lyrically. It's fairly straightforward and allows you to connect with it, while preserving that cryptic aspect we all seem to love so much in punk rock music.
