"I'm the boy that looks excited
I'm the boy that's gonna fall apart"
Probably in reference to the sometimes over-emotional and sensitive nature of poets/artists.
"Candy floss, I lie to myself
I'm the boy that eats his heart out"
Self explanatory, but I think it's easy to become delusional about the way things really are in relationships.
"Candy floss and she's a safe-cracker
She kissed me first and then broke in"
He was really guarded.
"We slip and slide on the stay-together land mine
I make my mind up to never be myself
And every time I fake around
I live my life for someone else"
Repeatedly trying to make it work with someone and wondering how long it's really going to last. He feels he can't be himself around her anymore. He probably just pretends to be happy and keeps all the dark stuff hidden.
"I'm on the sofa hoping she leaves that punk cause
(I'm in the way)
I'm the boy with the poetry power
I'm the boy, smells like flowers"
Seems like his former lover has found someone new and he feels he's the better man and hopes she sees that and comes around.
