You could think of Paris as a place you were in or a state of mind during a relationship that might have included mistakes like cheating. But he seems sincere towards the one he loved while he was in this Paris or getting out of it "jetlag been in a state of disaster" jetlag being him getting out of the state of mind that caused a rift in his relationship but he acknowledges her value to him and he's trying to fix it "ever since I left you saw you just fade away and I get lost tracing my steps back it cost nearly everything that I'm not ready to lose today not ready to lose everything I know I'm letting go of Paris" and so he's moving on and repairing it "letting go of Paris you know I've held on too much I've left you at the station I've put you in my past darlin all that shits behind us you never have to wonder you never have to ask." But it seems she found out on her own and he regrets not coming forward and feels she doesn't trust him and is paranoid because regardless of how sorry he is he feels her over his shoulder "shake off the feeling that your watching me now should've just told the truth" but he expresses how sorry he is and values her and that he always has her and their time together on his mind "sweetheart listen to the way I can not forget a single day I spent rolling all around the room with you" but they're having this issue or rift it seems he's either trying to get her back or get her back in the state of mind she was in before he messed up but it is driving him out of breath it's physically paining him how much it bothers him that he might lose everything he loves "it's just a fantasy taking over like a disease pull me out of this I can't breathe it's burning through my chest and I'm not ready to lose you again"
