To me this song comes from the perspective of a young man, in denial and struggling to come to terms with feelings of a newfound love. It seems he is scared of these feelings and chooses to suppress them rather than embracing, potentially due to fear of getting hurt in the process. To me this song has slight comedic and childish undertones, especially in the lines,

He knows she’s giving up everything and chose to stay with him. He knows he has a lot of flaws, but this is a flaw he isn’t ready to fix. He won’t face it and he’s trying to figure out what to do, a new “plan.” I think that’s the beauty of having just the two of them singing it together.
