I think this song is talking about our faith becoming a chore. We start out loving God, and then after time it becomes more about playing a role than truly serving Him.

And then when distractions come, you begin wondering why you are bothering.

"But I'm just tired of walking upright When I don't mean right. I just want to look right."

i think he's saying "I want this to be real, or I don't want it at all. If it isn't real, it is not worth the time or effort."
