I took it to be about her falling for a guy who she really grew to love, he's not perfect but he makes her feel, but her own reservations made it difficult to open up to him. He thinks she's cold, she's afraid of revealing too much and ending up showing him just how messed up she is on the inside, but because of that he leaves her or at least is pulling away if she won't open up. But she's still scared that she'll get hurt, that she'll just be "a track he lays" because she feels like his personality/inner strength overpowers her, and if she gives up too much he'll just leave anyways - she's stuck on her own perception of her faults.
More broadly, it's about the tenuous struggle between wanting to give the one you love what they want and open up, and being scared that doing so will drive them away and leave you shattered. Sometimes, it just feels like you're going to lose either way...
This song was great live. I like these two interpretations. It kinda hit me and my situation also, you love your best guy friend and their always there for you. You see them all the time and you get so used to it, that when they leave you realize how much they mean to you. And it sucks because since you're friends you can't straight up tell them that, so you're stuck missing them.
