To me, this song is just like another fantastic song 'wish you were here' by pink floyd in term of the meaning of 'you' which represents the writer or singer oneself.
He planed to be better man and get a more wonderful life in the near future, however, he found that he would not achieve what he had thought. On the contrary, all he did was wasting his time and narrowing the horizon of life (according the words'We've been holding a good night gun We've been losing our exits one by one').
On the other hand, he had grown to be a man rather than a little boy, which pushed him to do something he should do(according the words'We've been running a sleepless run Been away from the baby way too long').
Unfortunately, he just could find out what he should do, or maybe, he absolutely didn't understand what he wanted to do. (Therefore 'I was drifting, crying I was looking for an island I was slipping under I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another'.)
Then he had to ask himself again and again whether he could keep this embarrassed situation and do no anything to change it('think you can wait?').
You may imagine what the answer you will give when you are sinking into such kind of terrible condition.
As the singer answered 'I'll try, but I couldn't be better.', in the reality, the indiviuals are really hard to bring out the adequate confidence to affirm that he can overcome anything and get the success. Most of time, the only thing we can do is to try, and we don't know the result at all.
Even though, at last, you actually didn't be better, which can't be the excuse to escape to 'try'.
It's my first song review written by ENGLISH, which is really tough for me, and I'll try hard hereafter. Thanks for reading^_^
