To me, this song is about a boy who is confused about his emotions and doesn't know what he wants. Does he really love her? is it just lust? He wants to be close to her...but does he? He is trying to convince the girl, and at the same time trying to convince himself and asking for her input as well. This guy is not the prince charming that a girl would throw herself at "Never had a lover...never got bold (gold?)" some places say it is gold, but if that's true it refers to a gold medal which means 1st place, which means he is always 2nd or in the middle or just not really noticable. It is really relatable sometimes.
