Sadly, for me, this song has always been about the terrifying moments where you’re trying to do the right thing, but this might be the one time you get to open up to someone about your feelings for them… all while dreading that even mentioning them risks rejection and also kind of being an asshole (because the subject of affection isn’t really feeling too great).
I guess my interpretation hinges on the lines, “Time to wager all, to wager all.,.”
