Actually one of my freinds told me what this was about I hes not even a fan! Firstly I knew it was about a relationship going througha troubled patch. But this was the funny interpretation I was give was about this bit of the song:

"When you're swimming with your boots on, It's hard to say you love someone And it's hard to say you don't"

Swimming with your boots on is having protected sex! It goes without saying "It's hard to say you love someone And it's hard to say you don't"

Still its an interesting twist on the song.
