So based on my experience of my first love I have given my own interpretation to this song. So when she says "Lately I've been crying like a Tall child " makes me think how emotional I was during and after the relationship ended because I was so depended on the other person .

"So please hurry leave me I can't breathe Please don't say you love me" this part, is my favorite and I associate it with the breakup. Because I love them just a little too much and them saying I love you just not like the way you do love me , and it was hurting me more hearing I love you and it just made things harder for me.

"And I don't wanna go home yet Let me walk to the top of the big night sky" This parts reminds me after them breaking up with me how I said I wish things were different, I don't want to move on and get over you etc, I just wanted it to last forever and I knew taking the bus and leave would be the final goodbye and I wasn't ready for that.

My Interpretation
