I think the song is about someone who has lost their way because of their hearts desires and is wondering how long until God reaches out and saves him from himself, hence the title and lyric "forever" and "will this last forever". Personally I think the song in its entirety is a story. It starts with him growing deeper in his sin, following his heart and knowing it is wrong. When he realizes this he tries to change but cant. As he tries to remove the burden he grows further away but in the end realizes only God can remove this and that he cannot do it alone. In the Chorus of the song "You chased me down and broke in when I was done believing" he is referring to that moment
This is just my opinion and Im not very good at portraying my thoughts so just bear with me, but all songs can mean different things to people depending on what that person has done or been through. I gave my personal thoughts on the song but my view may be different than yours because of the situations ive been through
