I think this song is about someone so in love with this person and they been chasing after for so long. They know people think its just because of looks & lust but it deeper then that. They realized that even if they tell the world how they feel about that person it won't a thing without that person knowing. So they decide to tell the person even though they keep putting off. And just before they tell the person they think about is this worth going after even if leads nowhere or they get here or should they just stay in their poper place and admire(love from afar and never tell the person.
