"How - you could say nothing" (I'm pretty sure he's saying "say" not "see," although I suppose see fits in with the lighting thing, but say also fits in with the other senses - see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil maybe? I always thought it was about the couple avoiding the inevitable phrase "just friends" even though they both know that's all it is. Maybe I'm just hearing what I want to hear.)
"all the warm refusals,
blind assumptions" (this was just kinda nitpicking I guess. The line, I think, is about people seeing what they want to see in the relationship despite what's actually there.)
"Cutting corners,
without faces" - sort of like ending it without burning your bridges - it's a mutual end.
"for seasoned swimmers, old beginners, know
this is not something..." -- basically he's saying he's been here before, and all the familiar signs are there that this relationship is going nowhere.
Love the way the music just resonates the truth of the words; it's bittersweet and fits perfectly.
A few corrections: "we all should stand clear"
