love this album. Had no idea there was a bonus track. Sounds like a response to his song "middle distance runner" where he says,
"So won't you run to me tonight?
Tonight let's not talk about next summer
Cause I'll only ever be a middle distance runner...
But you'll have to run to me tonight
Tonight I will love you forever
But I'll only ever be a middle distance runner"
I think
Either,
He is trying to seduce the girl to sleep with him tonight even though he believes he can't do a long term relationship or
He meets the girl and his feelings change. He decides he can love her forever if only she would be convinced that he has changed.
I am prone to think that the latter because "The Carpenter's son" is often a reference to Jesus who is all about rebirth and change. That could be me reading to much though
