Lyric discussion by HansLucas 

A lot of people seem to think this is a break up song or about getting rejecting, and I guess that's a valid interpretation, but to me it depicts the crumbling of a relationship that never that never took shape.

The protagonist likely doesn't even have a strong platonic connection with the woman in question, but rather a cursory one. And when you're lonely what seems to be is always better than nothing. What a devastating notion to wrap your head around.

@HansLucas So true!
