Shared Bodies Lyrics
So striking, I swear you leveled me with a look,
reminded me of my breathing patterns,
ran your hands through the grease and set fire to my face,
seduced a love to grief and left the same as you came,
we were based on an end,
it's as if everyone always arrives already gone,
some say love is a river and the wetness behind my ears puts out the wick,
some say love is time, i helped you pass,
love is location, we were just circumstance,
could almost smell the must, the urgency
i knew better, i just didn't care,
but i think that i felt more inside you than i would have liked,
you carved me rigid, and i hate you for it
you were everything i wanted at night
you were a dream, but come light,
i lost what i saw in you,
through those somber windows,
we were addicted to the moon light lines in my old room,
and i couldn't tell us apart.

I’d say it’s simply about a relationship that started with one (or both) people knowing it wasn’t going to last, for whatever reason.
"We were based on end" "Everyone always arrives already gone” The end of the relationship was foreseen.
When it says that “love is time, and it just passed” and the lines after that explain in depth that they were just passively together...
At the beginning he explains that he was struck by her, maybe just by her beauty and he was probably okay with the reality as long as he’d be able to have someone around Eventually he got over her.
"We were based on an end, it's as if everyone always arrives already gone" & "you were everything I wanted at night. You were a dream, but come light. I lost what I saw in you”.. these lines really hit me.
I could heavily relate. I don’t know how accurate I am but this interpretation works for me.
