I know that everyone ('everyone' could very easily just mean me) associats Tilly with Conor Oberst, which isnt fair to them because they are a cute and cheerful bunch of well dressed and attractive 20 somethings with or without the fact that Neely and Conor used to be in love or whatever,but i do think that this song could very easily be about him being the raging alchoholic that we all know and love,how their relationship is gradually falling apart.
