It seems to me to be about being scared and unsure of love, but ultimately wanting it. The verses speak for themselves, but the chorus, "Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself/ When you're old enough to repay/ but young enough to sell", is saying that you're old enough to be in a committed, mature relationship (repaying your partner), but also young enough to start over in a new one (selling your partner). I interpret it as saying that its hard to know what you want when you are in one of your first long term relationships....

asking someone or yourself why is it hard to make arrangements with yourself
when you're young enough to repay (old enough to stay in a committed, give-and-take relationship) but also young enough sell (young enough to sell out your relationship by taking the easy way out and breaking it off)

Tell me lies later,
come and see me
I'll be around for a while.
**** i think it's about waiting for someone to make a decision whether they'll stay or go.

I am lonely but you can free me
All in the way that you...
I am lonely but you can free me
All in the way that you smile
**** I think this part is knowing and being sad about the fact that the relationship could possibly end (since she's having a hard time making arrangements to herself) but also knowing that the only person who could make you happy is the person who's about to break your heart.
on a sidenote: I think this song says a lot about people who are having a hard time what to feel or how act when something they thought they wanted is right in front of them... like when everyone says they wanted to be love but when someone tells them they love them, they freak out and leave the people who told them they love them.
But to freak out because someone told you they love you is to be immature, and not ready for relationship. A mature person doesn't react like that, it's really childish

I think that the line "I am lonely but you can free me All in the way that you smile" Is one of neil's best and just a beautiful line!!
