Unlike hornsofarabbit, I don't think it's about G losing her to another guy but to time.
"
your tongue the tide
your lips the shore
i am the jetsam overboard
goodbye courage
i christen all the ships that sailed
on your little kisses' saliva trails
goodbye courage
hello sadness again"
The way that's broken up suggests one night stands to me. He ends up in bed with her and when it comes time to kiss each other goodbye he loses the courage to speak up and suggest they give some sort of relationship another try.
I see the same thing in the lipstick ring. He sees it as a sign of their devotion, where it's actually a mark of passion; a lipstick stain from the girl who just took the walk of shame back home on a Sunday morning.
I find it's all paraphrased in the wishbone verse. He's worried about taking what he wants because it might destroy everything he has, while at the same time fearing that if he remains inactive that she'll find another.
