Lyric discussion by ariaxxx 

he starts by describing a boy who really liked a girl. he was completely devoted to her and always gave her all his attention. he did everything he could to win her. the girl doesn't really like him that much though and doesn't return his love. she is just using him as a standby and kind of plays with his heart since she keeps thinking that there must be someone better out there. he calls her and he's "tripping" because he feels like he's losing the connection and his love...he's paranoid about what she could be doing without him.

he later realizes that his relationship with her is going to be futile and starts to give up and try to forget her. he's carrying on with his own life now, recovering from his heartbreak and getting out. but now finally the girl realizes that she needed that boy, so now she calls him "trippin on the phone line". but it's just too late; he's already moved on. so now she's heartbroken too. and then they break up.

the song is saying that love basically sucks and is full of heartbreak. everyone goes through it though and it's okay...we should get up and move on. it's better that we just never fall in love.
