I feel it is about how he wasted a part of his life that he can't get back. he filled his life with distractions so he wouldn't have to face his problems. 'he keeps tapping on my shoulder telling me it's over so where do I begin' he keeps telling himself to tell the the truth and seek help but he doesn't know how. 'roll on push a little further I keep saying is this worth it or should I just give in' more problems arise and he is wondering whether the difficulty in actually trying to fix his problems is worth it or if he should just give up. 'I don't know which way I'm supposed to spin in these circles' he is going in circles. every time a problem arises he tries to forget about it with distractions (of any sort) and then when there are no more distractions he will remember the problem and it is as bad as when it first arose if not worse. 'I look back on a distant border I fear I'm getting older there's so much that I missed' he is remembering when he was on the borderline of coping and not coping he sees how long ago it was and how long he has been not ok. 'see if I can define where I came undone' he is trying to remember when he actually was happy and actually ok. 'and I won't waste my time on your concern til it's over' he still thinks he can ignore his problems and let them pass so he won't waste his time talking about them until they are 'over' (which they probably never will until he actually deals with them). 'and I can't wait no more no sweet return this ain't over so it is' he then decides that his life isn't over and he won't just return to distractions and he will actually deal with his problems. the 'this is over' at the end is about his lies that he is fine he will stop lying to everyone and get better.
