It's about a guy feeling restless in a relationship. He wants to get out but doesn't really want to make the effort. Stagnation. Brilliant song, it's my absolute favourite.

I think it's paritally about mental illness and feeling stuck in a relationship. The "dark side in us all" makes me think that.

I think it's pretty obvious what the meaning is, it's been covered... but this is like, one of the best songs ever, I absolutely love it...

What I get from the song is that he's trying to make a relationship work, but it isn't because there was some sort of conflict, which I think is that she thinks he's lying by the lyric, "If I lied you'd know it instantly, so I just had to look away." Basically, he's telling the truth and trying to move on, but it doesn't work and he's trying to sort of get out of the pain. Also, I think it's sort of a love that has expired, but is still strong. As in, he loves her but it's all gotten to be too much. He can leave, but then he can't. There are too many unresolved problems there, and too much love to walk away from. In a nutshell, he's tangled in a bad situation.

i think he's gay but he's only just realised it... or maybe she's pregnant and he can't leave her but he doesn't love her.
