to me this is about an attraction to someone that doesn't go anywhere because he is too shy to make a bold move, and is trying to persuade himself to be brave and go for it!
The first verse is him telling himself it will all be better if he goes for it and 'gets the girl', saying it'll help him kip the drugs/alcoholism/grumpiness (violence?)
I'll say it now because i want it now is self explanitory, telling himself to say how he feels if he wants to get what he wants.
Personality is scarred tissue i think means that his personality is a bit 'dead' and he needs to brighten up to get the girl.
Subtle and catious describe his actions towards the girl, may go unnoticed so she doesn't know he likes her.
Take hold of your time here, give meanings to the means is about taking a chance, don't want to leave emptyhanded.
2nd verse, longing, erring, caution, silence, tremble all again suggest his shyness.
warmth of my sincerity could be friendly jokes/flirting that the girl laughs off but he really means.
can't we all hold hands - he wants to be part of her plans.
anyway i may be off but alot of the lines seemed to fit and i'm sure most people have cursed their shyness around someone they like so it seems to make sense!
