this song is about someone with high aspirations (in this case, music) that knows they’re unrealistic. The narrator wants a life-saving love, so to speak — they want to have a relationship that convinces them to settle down and live happily and normally instead of going away and most likely failing at their dreams. But instead, they have this person they’re mostly just alright with, and they know that things will get worse, so there’s nothing to stay for.
