I'm sad to say that I actually understand the lyrics perfectly.
It’s about a particular variety of a lopsided relationship with a girl… I’ll go line by line.
“everybody makes mistakes but i feel alright when i come undone” That feeling when you meet someone you can drop your defenses with and truly love them even with their faults.
“you are not making me wait but it seems alright as long as something's happening” The sex happened fast and easy but that’s alright because the emotion was there almost as fast.
“i try to make you late but you fighting me off like a fire does” She has better things to do than devote the kind of time you would want to spend with her.
“you try making me wait but it feels alright as long as something's happening” You need to be available on her terms but that’s ok for some reason.
“get your payments from the nation for your trials and tribulations” The girl is actually a user of everything in live often including whatever social/welfare system are available…
“you try to make me wait you come around when it's come undone” She comes around when she needs something (sex, money, company, or just a distraction)
“everybody makes you late and it's never you because you're always thinking” She always has a good excuse and plenty of people to blame because she really is always thinking about juggling all the crap going on in her life.
“i try making you wait and give you me some like you give it good” Occasionally when you do the same tricks to her (make her feel like you don’t care) she will respond… Either with loads of anger or loads of sex.
“everybody makes mistakes but it seems it's mine that always keep on stinging” Again, it’s always your fault for practically everything… At this point, yourself worth with this person is almost entirely based on their opinion of you.
“get your payments from the nation for your trials and tribulations” Again, the girl is a user.
“you try making me wait but you come undone when you come undone” No one can keep it up all the time. There will be moments when everything collapses for her. If you are there and not a douche bag, this will make you try even harder to help/be there for her.
“everybody makes mistakes but it's always mine that seem to keep on sticking” She will beat you with things that should have been forgiven and forgotten long ago.
“get your payments from the nation for your trials and tribulations” Even if you are smart enough to get away, there is a whole world out there for her to prey on….
