I listened to this song for about three days on repeat, I can never get enough of PTV =) Anyway, I think this song is about loving someone that doesn't return your affection. Specifically, the writer is talking about someone who they love but already has a significant other. "You decide there is so much more than me" means that the girl he loves puts others above him. "And baby honestly its harder breathing next to you,I shake", he loves her so much that he has a hard time being near her "What if I cant forget you?Ill burn your name into my throat,Ill be the fire that will catch you" I think he's saying that's what he would do to prove his love "Whats so good about picking up the pieces? Knowing the colours thatll lie up in her mind before." This one is harder, I think he means, what's so good about trying to figure out what she's thinking, because there are probably other guys she's been with before him and will be with, & "Just get on back to me, You know I cant afford the medicine that feeds what I need.", I'm pretty sure he's referring to the girl he loves as the medicine and he can't make her love him.

Yuuuuuuuuuup, that's my interpretation! I'm not sure if it's right, but that's what I thought when I was listening to it =)

I'm pretty sure it's more about a relationship that's struggling, like because of him having to travel for tours? Rather than because of something she did. "none of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole" hole, referring to a tour bus or bed on the bus. "I'd better learn to live alone" either relationship, or career which puts him alone.
