i think this song is about him being aware of the inevitable demise of a relationship he is in, where he is not too interested and the other person is vested so much more wholly than he. he sees this person is wasting time on him since he's pretty ambivalent, but he can't help but remain in this. he knows in time, this dream will be awoken from to realize it was a nightmare. he'll miss what they have, and he'll cry when all the drama of this love affair is over. he'll be sad when the other person finally walks away, but he can't seem to stop himself from doing it all again in the meantime.
sooo, maybe i'm projecting... but here goes.
