I think he's lying about being with the band at practice and trying to find the right sound to cover his the time during an affair? I think I hear them calling (the other woman pleading for him to stay all night) Oh Beth what can I do. (torn because he loves Beth but wants to be with other one. I think his general intent is to go home after having sex with her, but as is typical, she wants him to stay all night. He's wrestling with it and decides he'd better call home before Beth goes to the Studio/practice garage and discovers that the band isn't recording/rehearsing. You say you feel so empty (her gut feeling) That our house just ain't our home (loveless marraige) I'm always somewhere else (makes excuses) And you're always there alone (she feels unloved) Just a few more hours (buying time) And I'll be right home to you (His case of cheater's paranoia trying to reassure her that there's nothing going on, even if she hasn't come out and accused him of anything) NOTE:(touring would mean he'd be home in days or weeks - not hours. He's not far from home) I think I hear them calling (the other woman) Oh Beth what can I do (Asking both her and himself the question: wants to keep both going but ultimately has to decide to give in to the other lover's pressure or find something that he can say to get him off the hook after sex). Beth what can I do (It's almost as if he asks the question again in despair [muttering to self] after he's already hung up with her. He knows it's a hopeless situation) Beth I know you're lonely And I hope you'll be alright 'Cause me and the boys will be playing all night (In the end, he surrenders to his passion and stays with the lover as he truly bids Beth well and hopes that she will be alright. He has a love for Beth but it is not a passionate love - only residual, now platonic and somewhat emotionally dispassionate feelings. He does feel bad and deosn't want to hurt her, but doesn't love her . |
