What I feel this song is portraying is a young woman growing up and facing life. Her mother and father have set certain standards that she would want to live by but at the same time she doesn't want to settle. Trying to understand the difference between getting what she wants but at the same time trying not to settle makes life harder and harder. The more she tries to find out what she wants in life, the more the standards that she was taught to live by fades.
