pondering the meaning of Rilo Kiley's - Science vs. Romance (acoustic)

I've never really been a fan of Rilo Kiley but every once in a while a song like I Love L.A. or this acoustic version of Science vs. Romance actually intrigued my music minded curiosity. After listening to the lyrics, I pondered what this was about:

"I used to think if I could realize I'd die
then I would be a lot nicer
used to believe in a lot more
now I just see straight ahead

that's not to say I don't have good times
but as for my days
I spend them waiting

crash sites keep me up at night
impact division it splits in two
directly underneath you

as for those things (as for those things)
that act as markers in your life
but in between (but in between)
you can't remember
and so it seems (and so it seems)
that you've grown up and over me (up and over me)
and these silly things (these silly things)
I like to dwell on

test sites keep me up at night
chainlink and meters
I talk to you
it's cold out there
but i'm telling you
I'm lonely too

facts versus romance
you go and call yourself the boss
but we're not robots inside a grid

text versus romance
you go and add it all you want
still we're not robots inside a grid

zeros and ones"

What do you think Science vs. Romance is about Love, Faith, longing, mortality, fear of future? Discuss
