I like this song a lot. It's a very sad realization that a relationship isn't working out quite how he wants it to. I like the imagery of the king-size bed actually keeping them apart. The thrift store chair he sits in alone is the symbol of their past. They have come into some amount of success, and from that they bought the bed, thinking it would afford luxury. Instead, happiness exists only in their less prosperous past. Such a beautiful, sad story.
