This song feels like the singer is talking about a friend who feels so guilty about something it hurts. He feels so guilty that he almost personifies the guilt, ('he's being hanging round for days'; 'he'll get to you'). And no matter how hard he tries to get away from the guilt he can't avoid it because it's inside his head ('you've changed the locks 3 times, he still comes reeling through the door').
Thom is just trying to explain that the reason the guilt feels so bad is that he's doing it to himself (someone he can't get away from) and you have to pull yourself together, cause no-one else can help you with this.
Don't really get how the song relates to the video, anyone have any suggestions.
