He wants to be with her. She's confused and has been hurt before. She's afriad, and not ready yet. So when she is, he'll be there.
Don't want to strangle this, so I'm holding back for now
^^ he doesn't want to be clingy, so he's controlling himself and trying to be patient.
(Tied down) Don't want any false starts
^^ he doesn't want to force her into it, unless she's fully dedicated and sure. He doesn't want her to lie about loving him.
