I think this song is about a guy wanting to be more than just friends with a girl that's been heartbroken by some other guy. Well, the guy singing is basically saying, 'its okay if youre scared. I'm scared, too. We'll take care of each other. " The lyrics that says, 'and now you wish that you meant something. Something to somebody else', is talking about her wanting to mean something to the guy that hurt her. The guy singing is having to reassure her that he loves her and 'would wait forever' for her. Then when he sings, 'and I'm the one that should mean something', he's practically telling her that she should be thinking about him and how much they mean to each other. Not the one guy that broke her heart.
