He falls in love with the wrong girl and is "lost and underprepared". He gave everything to her and she basically destroyed him. It's a song of hurt and loss.

He was feeling guilty and sorry cause she was paying for what he did and asking her how long she could sacrifice for him. And the time comes that she could no longer do anything about it and surrender but he love her so that he wanted her back so badly, begging her to come back and he's willing to wait for her after she clears her thought.

The first part "in my place * 2" emphasize my own point of view where my hart and mind are. "Were lines that I couldn't change" - is the place where you can't take control of your life than comes the punch of the first part “Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed” I did something wrong by being in this unclear area, I did crossed the lines.
The second part excuses to show my un-controlled situation “I was scared Tired and under prepared” but the next line still leaves me with the responsibility of the situation maturely knowing the outcome “I wait for it”. The end of the second part is the promise to wait although nothing will come out of it “Leave me down here on my own” – death and I am left alone but I will wait.
The repeated part “Yeah How long must you wait for it” or “pay for it” this is a prayer to join the one you lost staying on earth is paying for it waiting for death to take you over…
Then breakdown, asking for the unachievable option to have him back to hear him sing.
I have recently lost my two and a half year boy from a disease that harmed his central nerve system preventing him from breathing at the end ,I stayed by him during his last weeks dying while I knew nothing can be done just wait for him to die. He was my first born child. This song has touched me deep inside remaining me his last days and my place during that time, I thank for the words and for the way it is preformed with Coldplay.
