I believe this song is about a married woman who the guy falls in love with, and she obviously is not happy in her marriage:

Where would you go? Not long ago I've been thinking out loud Why so suddenly? Don't you know? Don't do it What you do Oh what you do to me (He doesn't want to fall in love with her but he does... don't do it what you do to me)

Forever is a long long time When you've lost your way Trying to follow your ideal Oh sorry but your so called life It is such a waste (trying to follow your ideal... saying that she married because she thought that she was following what she should or wanted in life, "sorry but your so called life it is such a waste" this meaning that its stupid to be in that relationship when she isn't in love hinting once again to forever is a long time when your not in love anymore)

Wear your real eyes No you don't realize What you say yes to But you say yes too (Meaning that she has been fooling herself realize/real eyes and how she says yes to (husband) and says yes too like to marriage, or perhaps to the person persuing her in this song)

Where would you go Where would you go With a lasso? Could you run into Could you run into Could you go and run into me? (how you cant stray from marriage, tied to the knot or whatever but she is trying to run and he hopes that she runs to him if or if she doesnt get out of the marriage, he wants her but she is married)

So lonely so pretty such a lack of diplomacy (desperate for marriage/love, pretty, and can't deal with descisions thus she got herself into the mess of marrying someone she doesnt love = lack of diplomacy, negotiation) You can't get out (of the marriage) Don't you know don't do it What you do well you should do to me (you should fall in love with me rather than him) Far-out, sp far-out Such a fall-out Not only that you're lonely Don't matter if you're not so well No you're not so well

this makes so much sense. well done.
