I feel like the song is about how the boy loves this one girl who doesn't realize that he loves her. Could be that they are suppose to be just friends and he's always been her "back-up" friend who she turns to when things go sour with her new lovers.
He sings:
"With lots of time
A notebook full of the finest
Creamy rich girl parchment pages
Slowly filled with all your passing days
Every sacred word
Paints a picture"
(I feel like he is trying to express how he knows she has the time to be with him but she's too caught up in her past relationships and it's holding her back from what can be between her and him. She is so caught up in the past that every past she describes so vividly)
"Bigger were his muscles
And farther go his dollars
But when you are in trouble
And when you are uptight
I get the midnight phone call
I'm your captain for the long haul "
(In this verse I feel like he is describing the girl's lovers general image description of what they are usually like. Sort of like meat-head guys who just use and abuse girls then move onto next ones. And when she is in need of some emotional support to make herself feel better she turns to him [the singe])
-So that's all I really get from this song.... and just the way he is singing it, slow mellow and melodramatic just adds onto his anguish about how things are between them. Love sucks when you're stuck in a rut.
