They come here alone and they leave in twos
Except for you and me who just come to use
If you're all done like you said you'd be
What are you doing hanging out with me?
Why do you tell me stuff that's so plainly untrue?
If you'll be straight with me, I'll be straighter with you
If you're all done like you said you'd been
What are you doing hanging out with me?
I haven't wanted to do anything for a long time
But whatever you got right now
Would probably suit me fine
And if you're all done like you said you'd be
What are you doing hanging out with me?
I haven't wanted to do anything for a long time
But whatever you're doing now
Would probably suit me fine
And if you're all done like you said you'd be
What are you doing hanging out with me?
What are you doing hanging out with me?
Except for you and me who just come to use
If you're all done like you said you'd be
What are you doing hanging out with me?
Why do you tell me stuff that's so plainly untrue?
If you'll be straight with me, I'll be straighter with you
If you're all done like you said you'd been
What are you doing hanging out with me?
I haven't wanted to do anything for a long time
But whatever you got right now
Would probably suit me fine
And if you're all done like you said you'd be
What are you doing hanging out with me?
I haven't wanted to do anything for a long time
But whatever you're doing now
Would probably suit me fine
And if you're all done like you said you'd be
What are you doing hanging out with me?
What are you doing hanging out with me?

Pretty much all of his material has the same or similar undertones, the emotional disturbance that motivates the use of whatever drug you choose, be it human, chemical, etc. to try to fill that void inside that feels like it's growing faster than you can fill it until it becomes larger than you are and you fall into it, like Elliott did.
In the end it's probably a reference to himself, but the lyrics point to someone else. Thats why it's hard to read into his lyrics, their normally abstract even though they don't seem complex at all.
"they come here alone and they leave in twos
except for you and me who just come to use"
he's saying he comes here to "use" which means probably heroin or coke.
"if you're all done like you said you'd been
what are you doin' hanging out with me?
i haven't wanted to do anything for a long time
but whatever you got right
now, would probably suit me fine"
as you can tell, he's probably just using this person for the drugs and seems a little bothered that the person hangs around with him. The gentleness in his voice kinda tells me its a female.
and also i love this song.
and if you're all done like you said you'd be
what are you doin' hanging out with me?"
and if you're all done like you said you'd be
