So here's my interpretation of the lyrics - I think it's about being a musician, in general. You know... writing and performing music to "take the pain away." Also, the bridge - I think it means the persona doesn't want to believe the "safety numbers" (statistics to prove album sales maybe or reassurance that they're a great band) or to "wait on those empty promises" (of fame, fortune), just so they can live the life they've been hoping for. Another clue are the lines "We're chasing heights that we'll never reach.
In love with something we'll never be" - maybe refers to achieving success in the music industry, the debate between going signed or indie. The first paragraph in its entirety, to me, means waiting for a long time for getting successful in the music industry, for a band of such tremendous talent, yet other bands and singers that basically aren't as talented get all the special attention and privileges.
I don't know, maybe I'm over-analysing? Haha! But yeah this is what this song means to me. :)
FYI: xDizzyx's lyrics are correct. :)
