I think the song is about leading a girl on.
How you feed her lies and "fake your way through a conversation."
But then he sings "If your never gonna be a movie star" then what's the point of lying?
Also it's about being true to yourself and not putting a show on for everyone around you.
"Pretend you meet your own expectations."
"Who you gonna call when the spotlight flickers? What you gonna do when your curtain falls?"
-When everything comes crashing down and the truth is possibly revealed, what will you do?
How will you go on?
"She's no prize for a synthesizer." - If you're gonna continue to lie or attempt to change the girl, then she's too good for you.
