My fav song by Sam Roberts. It's very catchy and just a cool song.
I think this song is about running away from something unpleasant in your past. Running away from it blindly is following the "bridge to nowhere". And if you're headed to nowhere then you'd rather "come last". His friend is telling him to "put it in the past" and keep on living but he's trying to "slip out the back" and go elsewhere. When the song goes "She wants to know can I replace/This tired wool with satin lace", it's his friend telling him he should make a fresh start with a better look at life. And the line that goes "no guarantees that I won't get stoned" is about being aware that life isn't all roses, but you should keep going anyways.
