Cover art for Dancing on the Highway lyrics by Elliott Smith

" I agreed Not to be unforgiving" I always thought he has now become a better person, will his lost love (who may be dead) now accept him ?

"look at what I can do with empty time" maybe he is referring to commercial success, he wanted to prove he was good enough for someone ? now will they accept him that he thinks he has done enough to gain her acceptance ?
