It's about a couple who doesn't have a good communication in the moment. The singer wants they keep together.
But the thing I like most to think about when listening is in how it explain well timidity, you can pretend the singer is singing about how it's hard to speak and how shy people feel when they keep there in silence. That's why I like this song, I'm one of these people.
"I know what you're thinking" when you keep imagining what other people are thinking about you and what you're going to say then what you really want is the other person say or do something to break the ice ("I wish you'd make your move").
"It's like you know where I'm going / You follow me home / But I never invite you inside" the person is interested in be your friend, know you... The person "know where you're going" = the person know you're thinking, maybe going to speak, "follow you home" = wants you to speak, "but I never invite you inside" = you never expresses what you're feeling, you never talk because of shyness.
"Don't stop, don't stop
Telling me goodnight
Just promise you'll kiss me goodbye
What's taking so long?
Don't tell me you're not gonna try
The tension's building in my mind
I wanna scream and I know why"
This part is really more romantic but you can get it like you wanting the person interested in your friendship don't give up on you because you're timid, you want to scream because of shyness.
That's it... The good thing is I'm getting better at timidity because my psychologist is helping me. :)
