Despite the great implications towards death I still feel this is towards distance or a breakup. It fits for me with my only ex I've had. I don't deserve my scars that I have mentally (though it could easily be physically in other peoples' cases) and I don't deserve this guilt that lays on me. Then how he says there is only time now that stands against us, it seems to refer to how the clock is winding down towards when everything will have been worn out and no longer able to function. Like a relationship can receive too many blows, that make it lose the foundation it once had. It's like maybe that once last blow to their relationship was some important marking in them, like a prom or something more serious. If it was then it would easily explain the transition about how he'd jump at the chance for one more date, and one more slow dance-because he just doesn't want to let go. A lot of times when it gets to this point too hard to even speak to each other. In my case, I remained a very close friend with him but it's never been revived. And so if I were able to touch this guys hand when it still had life in it, would be so relieving. Because my situation right now is, I can't turn back, there is no friendship, and he IS suicidal..Which is no longer something I can cure, though I used to be able to. So as easy this song is to display an unwanted death, I think it might also be the end to a traumating breakup from a long term relationship as well.
