such a beautiful, wistful, romantic song. definitely think it's about someone in a relationship who realizes they have fallen in love with the other person, but they're desperately afraid to admit it. at the same time, they know they can't hold it in forever, and it actually hurts to hold it in:

You mean that much to me And it's hard to show Gets hectic inside of me When you go Can I confess these things To you Well I don't know Embedded in my chest And it Hurts to hold

They want so badly to confess their feelings to their lover but something, fear, is holding them back:

I couldn't spill my heart My eyes gleam looking in from the dark I walk out in stormy weather Hold my words, keep us together Steady walking but bound to trip Should release but just tighten my grip

They know that it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out, they're tired of lying, they look forward to the moment when they can stop telling "white lies" and hiding their true feelings, and truly let the other person in, they resolve to tell what they really feel soon:

Night time Sympathize I've been working on White lies So I'll tell the truth I'll give it up to you And when the day come It will have all been fun We'll talk about it soon
