Well to me this song sounds like me when I get insecure in a relationship. Maybe this is just me being a teenager but this is how it strikes me:
I feel like the opening the "great truth" is that he loves this person(i'm going to say girl because it'll just flow better and such.) And his place is being with her. Though he is insecure about the relationship and that could be cluttering space in his mind and casting a shadow on his face.
He has the strength to move hills could be all his potential energy but he isn't using it because he is just staying in his room all the time just being depressed and insecure. Just sitting there until that right song comes on and his mind is just elsewhere. (kinda connecting with this part, sort of how I found this song.)
And the chorus: He could be referring to these bits of insecurity as these slips and stumbles and everything. They are slips in character and trusting her and just being happy. And when he is asking her to wait for him he is referring to waiting for his insecurities to pass and to wait for him to be okay and trust her kind of stuff.
He feels he is just passing through places because all he can think about is his doubts and insecurities. He could be dreaming of things just being good and he wakes up just feeling bad that things aren't good and just wants to dream of them being good.
Kind of my idea on the song. Might not be too uplifting but it's what I got from the song.
