I dont't completely agree with what beyondblue says. Rather than that it as a song about him not getting over his ex, I think it's a song about him being so broken by his last relationship that he doens't know how to enter a new, though he want it so badly. I think the last relationship was a bad one, but it took him a long time to realise that; she challenged his dreams and balance and it took him a long time to relaise that he wasn't happy and that his life could be different, it could be more than this; his life could be extended. But now he has met someone new and he sees her as someone who can save him form his misery and eventually can live a happy and extended life with. The reason he says could is because he is doubtfull if he can manage to let her in, since the last relationship left him in pieces and he has to mend these broken pieces before he can be with the new girl. "I'll be there as soon as I can" He wants to be with the new girl and live happy, but he has to build himself together first, and then he's ready for her.
