Lyric discussion by Louis126 

I think he's possibly talking about a long-distance relationship he was in at the time, and the difficulties which are associated with that type of relationship.

I've been in a few of them, so I can relate. At the time I first started listening to the CD that this song is off of (Long Line of Leavers), I was in a very serious long-distance relationship with someone, so I could really relate with a lot of what (I thought) he was going through at the time.

I think the notion of a possible long-distance relationship is further evidenced by a few other songs on this same CD, namley 'Can't Lose You', 'What You Want', and Mistake of My Life'.

But these are all great songs though, and brought me a lot of inner strength, healing, and catharsis (cathartic healing) during a relationship which she and I both knew would have been very difficult to have sustained at the time, due to several personal factors.
