On a more musically technical interpretation, the line "Well, I do" at the end of each chorus ends earlier than expected, with 3 beats in the bar rather than 4 beats (like the rest of the song). The fact that there's a missing beat causes the listener to fumble and question why that line ended early. It alludes to the pain and confusion when ones life ends "quicker, quicker"; the composer invites the listener to feel as they did when writing this song.
