================================================ It's been at least another year And still I haven't got the chance to say Always rolling off the tongue Never said but nearly sung about a million ways

Every photograph and story Trickled through the lengthy web of friends I overthought but understood Distant looks but looking good And not the other way

But you, you, fail to remember But you, you, fail to remember

Do I still cross your mind? Your face still distorts the time

Basically he talks about an old love (like chattenoir said), or some type of love that was left without any closure. To me, it's almost like there was love between two people that never quite came to the surface, and then was cut short by something (could be distance, whatever would make sense, really).

The whole "But you fail to remember / Do I still cross your mind?" makes me think that the subject of the song has moved on, or at least makes it seem like they have.

"Your face still distorts the time" just re-emphasizes the time that's passed.

================================================ With heat struck afternoons long through Those idle dreams go back to you The echo seems so low displaced Everything that's not your face, I'm drifting off to

I think this is just talking about nostalgia and how he misses her/those memories.

================================================ (?) of infiltrations That what was made of constellations that I've saw Was this only in my head Just like most things go misread When overthought

Can't say much here other than it seems like he's starting to doubt whether there really was anything to begin with; that he was just overthinking it the whole time.

This could also go the other way: he might have at first believed there wasn't anything between them, but now he realizes he was overthinking things and it's clear that they had some chemistry (or whatever). "I overthought but understood / Distant looks but looking good" from the second verse also expresses this doubt/realization.

dude you are so totally right!

(?) of infiltrations is motivate flirtation and the next line is the rest was made of constellations that I saw
