I think this song is about two people with feelings for each other who won't act upon it. Or, more precisely, one person who is convinced that the person they have feelings for feels the same but both refuse to do anything about it. And then by the end of the song he seems to realize that maybe the other person doesn't feel the same way.
"Nothing feels as special as this" and "frustrated love" is about how special the feelings between the two are and how both are too stubborn to do anything about the feelings that are obviously present, hence the frustration of the love.
"If I'm dreaming you and you're dreaming me/ then why don't we choose a different story" is obvious; if both of them feel the same then why aren't they doing something about it, or choosing a different story?
"My heart wants just to know that it exists" and the verse containing it showcases when he starts to feel doubts that the other person does actually feel the same and that perhaps he was seeing signs that weren't really there and misinterpreting them. He just wants some sort of recognition from the other person that he isn't the only one feeling anything. The good feelings he used to get from being with the other person are starting to turn bad because he is second-guessing the relationship he saw between the two of them.
The final verse is him giving up on everything; he realizes that the feelings he has aren't being reciprocated, and though he thinks that it may be "better" if the relationship between the two ended, he won't let himself out because he still feels a glimmer of hope that there might be something bigger between them.
That's my interpretation- it could be wrong (I may have related it a bit too much to my life, but it just seems so relevant). Enjoy (:
