Lyric discussion by leonperkin 

About a herion addiction. The repetition of the phrases really emphasizes the severity of the addiction. The song ends on the lines

' What you once were isn't what you want to be anymore '

Seems like he's trying his hardest to overcome the addiction and move on.

Such a damn good song though!

very good song. but Jeff Tweedy never did heroin. plus that is such a surface level interpretation. give him a little bit more credit than that as a songwriter...
