i have a slightly different take on the song...it's about his life post-elisabeth everything is elisabeth he may be travelling and drinking and sleeping around but elisabeth is everywhere he's waiting for another girl to get undressed and all he can think about is elisabeth maybe the repetition of goodnight elisabeth is his own attempt to convince himself to let go of his memory of her...having just moved away from someone who i care about i can totally relate to this song. i really do love my new city...honestly and truly but he's always this gnawing little voice in the back of my head
