Dude, has anybody had one of those girlfriends that gets "confused" all the time? They start liking other guys, or aren't sure if they want a serious relationship, or whatever their problem is. I had one like that recently, and I think that is what this song is about. For you consideration:
He goes to this girl's house, to pick her up...
She says, "Umm, I want to talk to you about something.."
And this is where the song starts..
"Were gonna die like this you know, miserable and old.."
These are his thoughts as she starts talking.. here we go again this will go on forever.
"Really got it hand it you"
I've got to say, you are the record for this kind of stuff.
"Are you positive? Absolutely sure?"
Is this for REAL this time?
"Just get dressed don't do this,"
Come on this happens over and over again, let's go out already.
They take off on the date, the next section is the conversation of the date.
She says she was listening to Miles Davis before he came over, and his music is influencing her thoughts. She is confused, she doesn't know if she wants to get serious or bail out.
He says, do we really need to talk about this, can't we enjoy what we have? And his attitude of here we go again, makes her decide to break it off, hence the addition of "When we get home we are through"
I'm from the Carolinas, so I believe the next part is him talking about how he was engrained in his youth with certain traditions (as is common in the south) One such tradition is courtship, or the idea of dating a long time (2 years or more) before making any serious decisions about a relationship. Honestly, it's hard to adapt to other places, (Like utah where I am now) when people get engaged after a month. Her talking having "been there once ot twice" is her talking other relationships with southern boys. And he says, you never gave the long-term thing a chance. "Did you ever think we could keep living like thieves" is him saying, taking anything and running, like a relationshiip, doesn't work out in the end.
The rest of the song is him and her going back and forth on the ride home.. are you sure? Yes. We're through. Great. Are you sure? and so on until the end where they both decide.. we're through. ok. that's it. it's not about sex.
