The songwriter is stuck in his own head. Trying to fake confidence and self-esteem, only to be let down time and time again really has hit him hard. As he tries to run away from all his problems, he realizes that the problems he was running from are all in his head. Also, a very strong fear of commitment seems to be controlling his actions. He's always got one foot out the door, but when it comes time to leave it all behind he is second guessing himself; "I still want to try."
