This is my absolute favorite fair song! Amazing!

For me, its about some guy who has to "pull the trigger" on his girlfriend because its not working out, and he thinks they should be separated for a while until they can either make up or just forget about it.

"Some would put the blame on you" probably means that some of his friends and family blame her for the relationship problems.

For the confidently dreaming part, he wants so badly to dream of her "confidently" and pretend everything's ok, but he won't escape that feeling that something is wrong just to keep the relationship. He thinks all she has to do is love to fix things, which she probably is not doing.

"There's forces under the floor", "You're coming back for something more" The first means that it feels like the universe doesn't want them together, IMO. The second is probably insinuating that maybe she came back to make up with him one day or night.

So in short, its about a guy that wishes a relationship could work, but won't throw away the hard facts just to make it work. It's all up to her to decide whether or not she wants to fix it.
