Lyric discussion by Daemonicus 

I think that the singer (Tegan, of course) found out her respective other (girlfriend/maybe girlfriend/ect) was cheating on her while she was off on tour. And she didn't want it to ruin their relationship because she is just so alone she needs any person who will have her.

I'm pretty sure its about a person she was almost going to date found someone else while she was gone. It's a starve for the person and attention during a time where she's been single and her sister has had a girlfriend for so long.

Beautiful, and so godamn catchy.

I like your interpretation as well as some others. And when you said that the person she was almost going to date found someone else I thought about Lindsey Byrnes instantly. Because Tegan once said that she was rejected by her over and over again and then she (LB) dated someone else instead but she(Tegan)got her in the end.
