Lyric discussion by schill2002 

This song is actually realizing when you're with someone that it is the imperfections that make you love them. Hence the "lazy eye".

100% correct

Hmmmm, but he does say 'with the same ol' decent lazy eye / vexed to rest on you'. I think the 'lazy eye' is referring to his own inability to stay true to the person he's with because he's always looking for something/someone else.

No, im pretty sure, Brian said this in an interview at one point, I don't remember which one thought, so I don't have any documentation
