It's so easy to lie to myself
And pretend that I could love you
But I can't
This song is spot-on homosex love the way I'm seeing it. It's all about not accepting yourself and not wanting to explain... an explanation would force him to accept whatever confusion is going on. The angry sea stays outside the comfy house this way..
If he marries all of his close friends, he can be gay without being gay, yet he'd never be intimate with who he wants, thus the saddening "who will be watching my body when I sleep/who will i believe in?"
It's also expressing responsibility. "How will I ever know you enough to love you/if you're hiding who you are?" If he never gets over the shyness, isn't ready to come out, lalala, he can't blame anyone else for not finding love. Pretending to love the people you can't love gets you pretty much nowhere real.
