On a plane, somewhere over the sea
Above the rain, the bottle sets me free
I turn to stone, fall back in my seat
The cuts are gone but somehow I'm still bleeding
You know it's true
There's nothing I can do about you
Move to France
La Rochelle or Nice
Get a house
Pretend to live in peace
Paint the walls
A blackout of your face
Stalk the halls
Then move into the basement
You know its true
There's nothing I can do
Pick a fight, it's just you being right
Walk away, there's nothing I can say
You know it's true
There's nothing I can do about you
So don't you mind the gap when you leave
There'll be time enough to turn tail tomorrow
Broken up like tanker on the rocks
Not made of much
I'm like the Cubs against the Sox
On a plane, somewhere over the sea
I fall asleep convinced that I ain't breathing
You know it's true
There's nothing I can do
Pick a fight, it's just you being right
Walk away, there's nothing I can say
You know it's true
There's nothing I can do about you
So don't you mind the gap when you leave
There'll be time enough to turn tail tomorrow
Above the rain, the bottle sets me free
I turn to stone, fall back in my seat
The cuts are gone but somehow I'm still bleeding
You know it's true
There's nothing I can do about you
Move to France
La Rochelle or Nice
Get a house
Pretend to live in peace
Paint the walls
A blackout of your face
Stalk the halls
Then move into the basement
You know its true
There's nothing I can do
Pick a fight, it's just you being right
Walk away, there's nothing I can say
You know it's true
There's nothing I can do about you
So don't you mind the gap when you leave
There'll be time enough to turn tail tomorrow
Broken up like tanker on the rocks
Not made of much
I'm like the Cubs against the Sox
On a plane, somewhere over the sea
I fall asleep convinced that I ain't breathing
You know it's true
There's nothing I can do
Pick a fight, it's just you being right
Walk away, there's nothing I can say
You know it's true
There's nothing I can do about you
So don't you mind the gap when you leave
There'll be time enough to turn tail tomorrow

On a plane, somewhere over the sea
Above the rain, the bottle sets me free
I turn to stone
Fall back in my seat
The cuts are gone
But somehow I'm still bleeding
It means that by using the bottle and setting himself free, he gets above the rain or storm on the plain. The rain meaning a fight or argument, something along those lines.
When he says that the cuts are gone but there's still bleeding hes talking about insults that someone has given him, possibly his ex-wife? and since there is still bleeding he is still sad or angry about the insults.
In the second verse, he's basically saying that there is no use arguing with her or him because they think that they are always right, so he will just walk away.
When he talks about the tanker and the rocks he is saying that he or she has destroyed him and there's not much of him left.
Or at least that's what I get out of it
"Don't you mind the gap when you leave, there'll be time enough to turn tail tomorrow"
For him he always ends up falling back and going back to her, turning tail, etc.
I don't get tho why he says he's going to move to the basement
