Lyric discussion by zombiehiphop 

being in love with someone but not being able to be with them for whatever reason. you want to be with them and care for them. but if they can't get whatever it is they're after they can have you instead. so now you're second best. you have them but do they really want you? that's what i get from it. makes mekinda sad but i still love listening to it.

I think there might be a bit more to it than that, in addition to what you're saying. The idea of the song is kind of sad, that the guy would be second best when all he really wants in life is this girl. But he seems happy. "'Cause you are my medicine when you're close to me." It seems like, even though he's disappointed that he's not first in her life, the guy is still happy because she's close to him.

Zombie and Poly, i do agree with u both! :)
