you really couldn't. The reason I get this impression is that the narrator also says they could do all sorts of impossible things "if I only wanted to," adding the occasional "I wouldn't have to be in love with you" to the list. You don't want to face the fact that you have no control over the situation, so you tell yourself that you do even though you don't. General Comment: I think this song is about truly loving someone, thinking about them all the time, obsessing and so on, but at the same time you wish you just get them out of your head, and be free, just being able to do whatever you want and not having to worry about anything.
