Perhaps this song speaks about a guy having a crush on this girl, but doubting whether the girl has the same feelings about him or not.

Perhaps, we've all been through a phase where we had an infatuation for someone. Yet, it may be unclear, fuzzy, and confusing. "Was I a terminal distraction? Or just a chemical reaction? Or is it chance or is it fate? Was I just standing in your way? I find it hard to understand..."

We then contradict ourselves, and wonder if that person likes us or not, if they do feel the same way, how could they love someone like us? "I find it hard to understand How you love this ordinary man And so extraordinarily Maybe it's all unraveling according to plan."

Yet if the person does see something in us, and has a mutual interest in us as well, then things will slowly starting to reveal itself. We just have to wait and let fate play it's role."Yeah that it's all left up to chance And so arbitrarily But if she sees something in me...I guess it might just possibly May be all unraveling according to plan." = MUTUAL LOVE.
