Glasspassenger has it down. It's about him cheating on his wife. I ran away in floods of shame I'll never tell how close I came As I cross the Holland road You went left and I went right They had a fight. They both took off. He won't say in particular what it was he did, or how close he came to it (until later in the song). As the moon hung proud and white You would of loved it here tonight All he could think of was her, his wife. Though he was going to cheat, he couldn't get her out of his mind. 'She would have loved the weather out tonight.' After living your life with someone for such a long time, it becomes difficult to look at any situation without thinking about your other half. Thinking things like: "Man, she would love this," or "Man, I wish she were here to enjoy this with me." Spin me round just to pin me down On the cover of this strange bed Spin me round just to pin me dowm "Strange bed" There it is. His head is swirling around and spinning with crazy emotions: anger, sadness, remorse. He was pinned down on the bed anyway though. He cheated with some woman (probably in her bed) and his conscience is eating away at him. Roll out your questions keep them down Let the water lead us home And I was sorry for what I'd done He did it. He knew she would question where he had been. He kept evading them but he was still so sorry for what he had done. He could not get it out of his head. You were young I was not old But our story was not told But torn apart by greedy hands They were young, full of life. Their relationship was going places, but one fight later he was sleeping with some other person. It was his greedy mistake that messed up everything. Spin me round just to pin me down I'll be gone by the nights end Spin me round just to pin me down He knows its over. He hates himself for it, but the relationship is finished. He'll be gone by the nights end. Maybe he's going to kill himself, maybe he's just moving out. But it's done. I'll be home in a little while He wants it to continue. He misses his wife and their relationship. He just wants to come home. He knows it's never going to happen though. |

I feel like it's about a fellow that is in love with a gal friend of his. They've always been close, possibly slept together a few times, and he's always wanted the two of them to be together. She, however, is always looking for something bigger and better for a relationship. She wants a rich, powerful guy. This guy has always been there to help her out and listen to her problems throughout the years, but she's never let him be her man or really appreciated him enough. Finally, he's getting tired of it. She's getting screwed over by other guys, and she's always really messed up about it. It's getting to the point where he's tired of hearing about it and just thinking "liven up honey, it ain't that bad." He's realizing that his caring about her and helping her is for nothing. She's waited too long to realize they should be together. He's just about done with it. But once again he comes back to it. He still wants her and he can't stop. She's become like a bad habit that he can't shake. He realizes it's pitiful to keep putting himself through it, but she's a worse person for putting him through it and being like she is. |
