The song is about someone always being there for this guy (the singer), but the guy didn't care about their suppourt and took advantage of them.
For example, the first line is "someday, when my life has passed me by, I'll lay around and womder why you were always there for me". This means that he is wondering why his friend was always there for him, even though all the singer did is take advantage of his friends work.
Next, he says "One way, in the eyes of a passerby, I'll look around for another try, and fade away". This means that he realises how mean he was being to the person that was always there for him, and he wants to make it up, but by the time he tries, it is to late.
When he says "Lets take a dip in the deap blue sea, I had to go, but you reached for me", that meant that he tried to get his friends attention back, because of all the good things his friend had done, but he was clearly to late, because his friend had other things to do, or proboably passed away.
