i think this song is about Jacks ability to spot a lie. Jack is a cancer, cancers are the mothers of the zodiac, we can spot a lie a mile away and we get to know the people we love inside out, as a mother knows her children. can anyone here genuinely look their own mother in the eye, lie, and get away with it? no way! it's because your mother knows you, and you know she knows you, and when you lie to her you know you're lying and you know she knows you're lying and you know she knows you know etc. lol. i think its about how Jack is a good person and help the person (or people) you love to the death, as a mother would, but he can tell when someone's trying to pull the wool over his eyes. it's a hard concept to explain. Allison singing it takes on the role of the mother like lover, and jacks part takes on the dark side of that, how it might feel to be known so well, or have it assumed that you're known so well.

It's probably significant that blinking and breathing are your two bodily functions that you can control consciously or unconsciously.
