My suggestion of this song it that there is a boy that fell in love with someone but wanted to know what he was in her life, wanting to know but never got the chance, hence the line, "something's getting in the way," and the emotional build that he is having, hence the line, "something's just about to break," or could have possibly someone who was dear to him but wanted to find if he was dear to them, hence the line, "I will try to find my place, in the Diary Of Jane," and wanting to be with them, hence the line, "If I had to, I would put myself beside you," or possibly he wanted to give up, yet turning back and hoping for a chance of love with her. No matter what the cost, he is willing to find what is his place within her life, hence the line, "As I burn another page, As I turn the other way, I still try to find my place in the Diary Of Jane."
