People need to stop thinking literally about this song.
Obviously the song is addressing a woman that he wants to be with. Much of the song deals with time being lost ("fading" and whatnot) but even as he may be emotionally losing her, he continues to show his love and is trying to tell her that he will continue to get better for her.
Overall it is a way of saying: "I love you, stay with me, we are only going to get better".
