I just had a weird thought today - is he actually singing about a stripper? He's been "saving up to buy more time" with her, while she's been "living it up with someone else," because that's how he can see her. He wants to see her "make believe," wants her to "back track and do it again," and he doesn't want to "try so hard it makes it hard for her to breathe" because she's distant and aloof. She can "make it up," but he can never "get enough," and he wants to know where to begin with a real relationship with her rather than paying her for dances at a club. I hope I'm wrong, because I really liked this song until I noticed that!!
