to me, this is about a break up, or pending break up, of a couple who's become pathetic. they're complacent and out of love, but their lives are built around each other and it'll take a force like a crane to break that structure. he's tired of it and she's turned to drinking, they're both depressed and need a change but they don't know where to begin. this is one of my favorite break up songs, and TMBG songs.
