It seems as if Brian(artist) is a little sad about a breakup. He keeps thinking back and wishes he was still with this girl, but this girl broke his heart. She's "cracking his rib cage open" to get to the heart. Meanwhile he is just lying at the bottom of a metaphorical pool.
"I will stop cutting my pants into shorts
I will address the issues I cannot ignore
And I will do the things I think you might like"
Now he is willing to do anything to get back with this girl, whatever she says.
"And I will be alone probably the rest of my life."
In the end, though, he knows that she probably won't come back, and he will never find another girl.

Grat song, by a great band, though!
