He certainly did earn that reputation.
Last night we tried to touch
But we never got close
Last night we tried to talk
The words got caught in our throats
When we finally fell asleep
We couldn't have been further apart
Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby, look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you, baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart
Look me in the heart
You try to say
That I'm hiding from you
You act like a spy
Always looking for clues
You've read about my past
But why don't we try to make a new start
Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby, look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you, baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart
Look me in the heart
Remember how good we used to be together
Remember baby, so be tender, baby
Remember the love we said would last forever
I know we can make it like that again
Yeah
Oh, yeah
Ooh
Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby, look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you, baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart
Look me in
Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind (yeah)
(Oh, yeah)
And you'll see that I'm just crazy 'bout you, baby
And it's not in my mind
Look me in the heart
Look me in the heart
In my heart
In my heart
Look me in the heart
But we never got close
Last night we tried to talk
The words got caught in our throats
When we finally fell asleep
We couldn't have been further apart
Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby, look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you, baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart
Look me in the heart
You try to say
That I'm hiding from you
You act like a spy
Always looking for clues
You've read about my past
But why don't we try to make a new start
Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby, look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you, baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart
Look me in the heart
Remember how good we used to be together
Remember baby, so be tender, baby
Remember the love we said would last forever
I know we can make it like that again
Yeah
Oh, yeah
Ooh
Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby, look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you, baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart
Look me in
Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind (yeah)
(Oh, yeah)
And you'll see that I'm just crazy 'bout you, baby
And it's not in my mind
Look me in the heart
Look me in the heart
In my heart
In my heart
Look me in the heart

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
