The general meaning of this song is that a guy realizes that his relationship with a girl is coming to an end. the girl dwells on her past, "While you've been dreaming of the dead and lost." Where as, he is focused on the present and their current relationship, "I Have been awake kissing these clock faces."
He sees that this girl is going to let him down and that he can't trust her, "I'll pick up the peices when you've failed and fallen to the ground." But he still cares about her and wants to make the relationship work.
I believe they then develop an on and off relationship... The third stanza mentions him being alone, but it won't last forever. "I leave these words in hope that... That we'll meet again,
again.. now?
I Know this wont last forever, I Know this wont last forever "
