Seams to me as somebody is about to die (( Did you ever think that we'd be three steps from the ledge Contemplating awful things and thinking about the end )) everything is past tense and seams to be random thoughts and re-thinks his life and beliefs. Doesn't really know for sure what is going to happen and prefer not to know except if he can be told "with any sort of certainty" now he will stop speculate and focus on that idea while his last moment lasts.
