Lyric discussion by gorms134 

Lyrics are briliant. The person has been sleeping with the same girl for awhile, but there is a glitch that keeps them from being more. He is tired of it so he quits coming around thinking it will spark her to come after him. And she never comes, a "season" has changed - but still nothing. Perhaps it is his pride that keeps him from calling her and in turn what has kept him alone?

"And the things that keep us apart Keep me alive And the things that keep me alive Keep me alone This is the thing"

Brilliant chorus, but what are 'the things'?

I don't think the song is explicit about what 'the things' is. Could be music as x-shai-x said, it could be touring, it could be sleeping with groupies, who knows?

i think 'the things' are intentionally left open-ended. Open to interpretation can make lyrics more relevant.

i like your take on his lyrics gorms....i've totally been in this situation and i feel like that's definitely a good gauge of what he's talking about
