If you want to take it to an extreme, it could be about infidelity. Someone who is married falling in love with another. If your heart was somewhere it shouldn't be.. the lyrics are suitable... noone really "plans" to fall in love.. especially when they've already made a vow to another. A situation such as that, would be a fine example of drawing a really thin line... and if you break that line, if you walk over it, that person could be yours.
"Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
It’s nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line"
And trading it all for one thing... maybe this person is considering trading their current situation because they realized they found true love, "If I sorted it out, if I knew all about this one thing". Almost makes it sound as if they married too early. It also fits where they are talking about not walking on by, passing it up.
"Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds"
Coming to a realization you never thought possible would result in this. You can't bury your feelings, your emotions, as much as we sometimes may want to pretend they aren't there, and not acknowledge them. Imagine telling someone else your situation... wouldn't you hate how it sounds?
