Basically, I think it's about really wanting something and almost worrying yourself over it that you won't get it. I think it's sort of like a bittersweet feeling. You love something so much, but it's so far away from you, and you keep on trying and trying to get it, and in the end, you sort of end up asking "How far do I have to go to get to you?" But, I think this song is also saying that you shouldn't perish in an aim to fulfill your passions. You can't just stop living and start working and worrying, hoping that one day you'll get that thing you wanted (thus, "but surely something has got to got to got to give/cause i can't keep waiting to live")
So, love something, and get it. But don't try so much that you're ruining yourself in the pursuit of it.
This song is sooo awesome!
