I agree with Jumping's interpretation. you really have to go through TSAC's lyrics one line at a time because he writes basically in all metaphors and heavy symbolism so it has to sort of be translated as if reading poetry. (one of the mainly reasons why I love them) as far as the line "sunrise on my shoulder, tempted to summarize" I don't have much but it reminds me of john denver "sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy" and sunrises usually symbolize the beginning of something so maybe she touched his shoulder or something and he summarized or jumped to the conclusion that that meant she liked him? but he's not sure if it was a hint or he was just making an assumption?
