I always interpreted the song as the guy really likes the girl, and he really wants to be in love with her, but he doesn't want to get hurt again. Like, He has those feelings for her, but she doesn't really see him in that kind of way. And that's why he always feel's scared to like her. Yet for some reason he still is crazy for the girl. In the chorus, I interpreted it as everywhere the girl goes there's always something there besides him, and she hasn't gone for him yet, and she is getting nowhere. The Strangest Things was all about this girl, and in the song Tidal Wave he says; "I am every thing you wanted. I am everything you need." That reads off pretty arrogant, but I think he just realizes that he loves this girl, and she needs to realize that he is the guy for her and that they were meant to be. Anyways, it's an incredible song to complement an incredible album. The Strangest Things is in my top five favorite albums. They are an incredible band.
