He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Live on the outside
I'll help you through your pain
If you help me through mine
Never have I met
Someone as insensitive as you
I want to escape what you've done to my life
I love the way that you're always on my mind
It's ok, you're not a bad one you're sane
I can't help this pain that I feel
Relapse and soda
My head is not all that you want it to lay
Existence is purpose
Explain what my touch means to you if it does
I want to escape what you've done to my life
I love the way that you're always on my mind
It's ok, you're not a bad one you're sane
I can't help this pain that I'm feeling
I can't help this pain that I'm feeling
I can't help this pain that I'm feeling
Oh yeah, hey
Hey, Yeah
When I saw you, I want to escape what you've done to my life
I love the way that you're always on my mind
It's ok, you're not a bad one you're sane
So how you love, it feels how you feel
Yeah, yeah
I'll help you through your pain
If you help me through mine
Never have I met
Someone as insensitive as you
I want to escape what you've done to my life
I love the way that you're always on my mind
It's ok, you're not a bad one you're sane
I can't help this pain that I feel
Relapse and soda
My head is not all that you want it to lay
Existence is purpose
Explain what my touch means to you if it does
I want to escape what you've done to my life
I love the way that you're always on my mind
It's ok, you're not a bad one you're sane
I can't help this pain that I'm feeling
I can't help this pain that I'm feeling
I can't help this pain that I'm feeling
Oh yeah, hey
Hey, Yeah
When I saw you, I want to escape what you've done to my life
I love the way that you're always on my mind
It's ok, you're not a bad one you're sane
So how you love, it feels how you feel
Yeah, yeah

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
