To me this song is about a broken relationship. This guy is putting all of this effort into making the relationship work, but it's all in vain because the girl doesn't care and the relationship is beyond repair. It's in that place where both people know it's over and it's just a matter of accepting that and ending it. The girl wants something more but the guy just wants to hang on. This song is about a sort of revenge, but not in a violent sense. This whole time the guy has been trying to make the relationship work but the girl doesn't care about him anymore; she's found someone or something new. But in the end, the girl sees what an idiot she was and realizes how great the guy was and that she should have noticed sooner. And of course, the guy is on to something more. I love this song because it captures that feeling so perfectly-that feeling of wanting the other person in the relationship to appreciate you and see what an idiot they were for not, but being able to say, "It's too late, I've moved on." And the line "I lost the word and nerve and now" has this great poetic quality about it. -ChasingAStar-i think you're right, almost every Train song has an underlying meaning about a relationship, or at least on the Drops of Jupiter album.
