I like this song aswell. What does the lyric mean "you're always first when no one's on your side" ? I am confused about that.I think maybe it means that she comes back 2 him when she has noone else? I agree with bug zapper about the meaning of the song.
This is obviously just my own opinion but when I heard this song I immediately figured it was about a relationship that ended badly due to cheating. 7 am...he wakes up depressed, makes the allusion of throwing something (his relationship) away "the garbage truck beeps as it backs up and I start my dad thinking about what I've thrown away" which would give the implication that he was the overall cause of the ended relationship would it not? He then describes how he simply wants to go back "could I push rewind?"...don't we all? He wants to make amends, probably...

He then describes how he simply wants to go back "could I push rewind?"...don't we all? He wants to make amends, probably does the 'if I could only go back I would never do this or that', etc. "Forgive my indecision" I think he's saying he wasn't sure about the stability of the said relationship and was obviously at some point indecisive...leading to his infidelity.
He's not up by 11 am which implies depression. "But the bedsheets shade the heat of choices I've made" means (to me...remember?) he cheated with some other girl, probably had sex, maybe something a little more minor, nevertheless...cheated and feels guilty. The only gain concluding in his alleged infidelity was the fact that he is certain he has never wanted anyone so much (his actual girlfriend...not the one he cheated with). He pleads for her forgiveness once again and claims this time that he is "only a man" giving way to his mortality...that everyone inevitably makes mistakes sometimes.
"12 pm...hope it's you" is pretty self-explanitory wouldn't you say?
Now for the chorus! He always ends the verses with a plead for forgiveness "forgive my indecision". He then states "then again" which indicates an afterthought that maybe he should just put himself first for awhile; you can focus on yourself and what you want out of life if you don't have someone else to think about "your always first when no one's on your side" (your side meaning when you are in a relationship and with someone). He has another afterthought after this with a following "then again" and realizes that he doesn't want to end up alone, that he does really care about this person he messed things up with and would like a second chance with them, and doesn't want to end up alone again...he likes having someone to think about. "THE day has come and I want off that ride!"
"you're always first when no one's on your side" . when your single you come first, there's no one you need to sacrafice anything for, and you can do what u want. i think this is the meaning because in the verse he talks about how he made the wrong decision breaking up with her? and wants her back... "then again" ..aka but.. your always first when no ones on your side. and also "forgive my indecision" he's undecided and weighing up which is the best decision.
