I absolutely LOVE this song. I feel that it's about a girl who was left for someone else, and is still holding on to what they had, but understands the temptation and the need to try other things. She, however, feels that he/she will eventually come crawling back to the love (sexual and emotional) that they had.

There's a cold, easy glow dancing over our street. I could have chased it down. I could've held your love, But wouldn't you think me weak?

She could have tried to hold on, but it would've been desperate and she knew that he/she needed to experience something else.

Of all, I should know How the streets come and go When you chase the kaleidoscope dream, but, Stranger, baby, always keep me in your sweet memory.

She understands the temptation of something new, but is asking that he/she remember her and what they had together.

Biting cold, thrashing, scolding, Drowned me under our street. Perfect hips, perfects tits she was. Perfect lips, pieces of your heart, Splattered on the cliff.

The singer is hurting; describing the other girl, how she's physically flawless but will only end up breaking his/her heart.

We go home, watch a movie. Tell me can you feel the beat? Getting loose, getting loose she was, Letting those feeling loose; She was, becoming a monster.

Their relationship had been boring in comparison ("go home, watch a movie"), but their connection was real, while the other girl is exciting but can't offer him/her the same thing and will only be a nightmare in the end.

She drew the line in the mind. She was not holding on.

The new relationship wasn't going to last.

And have you been through the sea, on the night? Hold me tight. Babe, we've got it. And did you find that you'd like a little Piece of cherry pie, hot from the oven?

She's asking if he/she is done yet and if they'd like to come back to her.

Sailor, Sailor, Sailor, I'm sending birds to watch over you. And when you see Honah Lee is a lie, Hold me tight. Babe, we've got it.

She's there for him/her when they get hurt, and when he/she comes to their senses, their connection is still alive.
