This song is about attachment. "The way i feel was promised by your face", indicates an emotional holding where one's feelings depend on the presence of another. This is how for the writer, "Even though your not with me I'm with you" because although physically the "your face" has moved on, the "how I feel" still remains.
Surrounding the chorus are complexities that come as a result of the end of the assumed relationship. Again as with the chorus these parts seem to be emotional related. Firstly in the first verse "Waking up in a dream" and "Pretending to be where I'm not anymore" suggest that in or outside his imagination the perpetrator is confused as to where he exactly is emotionally. This relates to the condradiction expressed in the 2nd verse where "When things go wrong i pretend the past isn't real" however, "I'm trapped in this memory". These issues flow from the overall theme of the song - even though your not with me (physically) I am with you (emotionally).
