An ode to the rebound girl or boy. The song is about trying to love someone even if you're not over the old one.
The persona, or Ed, is telling the one he is currently with that she reminds him of his recent relationship as shown by the lines: "You're not her... I'm searching for what used to be mine." "I saw your eyes and I saw her staring back at me." and "I will try to find another one who suited me as well as her."
He tells her (the new girl) that he wants to be close to her but things aren't clear. Maybe it was too much too fast because there are no labels set "We never even talked, we never even thought in the long run." but he seems to only remember her when it hurts or when he needs someone to comfort him.
Don’t drop me in
It’s not my turn
If you cut deep
Then I might learn
You scarred and left me
Like a sunburn
He is asking the current girl not to let him go just yet but she did. And scarred him like sunburn. Meaning temporarily. The "relationship" (used loosely) didn't last and didn't leave much of a mark. It hurt during the time perhaps but eventually faded into nothing. Sunburn, well burns, but rarely scars. And there is the ending of most if not all rebound relationships.
Anyway I hope this helps you like the song more. I love it.
