This song is so... Easy to relate to - like everything from DCFC, if you've got a heart or have been through troubled times.
This is about a loved one who's out of reach and each second that passes without that person is painful.
Have you ever experienced unrequitted love? It's painful like Ben Gibbard describes it: You know that person might never be able to love you, but you've known him for so long, you are so close to him, but they are still out of reach...
"And there's a flaw in my heart's design, for I keep trying to make you mine"
You keep seeing that person, you keep pretending you can only be his/her friend, you might even keep trying for a long time, waiting for an answer ("You're always out of reach when I'm in pursuit") but when the answer, when the "no" comes, you quickly change from being long-winded (exhausted) from chasing him to mute as you react to his reply.
