For me this song is about how a man has been suffering a poor relationship with his girlfriend. he dreams of running away and being happy but in reality he cant bring himself to do it.
when he wakes up from his dream of running away he asks himself how she can want people she hasnt even seen to be hers or want her, also he starts imagining why she does it and his conclusion is that she is following advice given to her by someone to always have a back-up ready.
then he starts telling her how she is giving bad, ugly, unworthy people a chance with her when she doesnt need to if she loves him. he tells her how he has seen her dating one of these people and how he had to resort to drugs to try get over the pain he felt. then he remembers that every time he took a drag he longed for her and he could almost "feel her in his lungs".
He asks her to accept him, to take his heart and everything precious to him.
Then he confronts her again and asks her who she would rather have. him or them.
and when she cant answer he asks her who she would rather remove from her life.
He asks her these questions but he is also asking himself the questions because in truth he doesnt know anymore. His heart still longs for her but his mind tells him she doesnt feel the same. he leaves and spends the night at a hotel.
then they both lay down in bed, restless, and think about how life can be confusing and how they dont know what they want.
They both know there will be other good people out there waiting for them.
both of them wish they had the relationship they imagine with other people, but they dont. they're with each other in a totally different relationship.
The next morning the man returns to his home and one last time he asks her who she wants and she doesnt want. hoping for her to want him.
