This song, I really think, reflects the difficult transition of a desparate shut-in to a more open life, and the turmoil it elicits. His denial of his own need for a companion pushes him to substance abuse and anxiety in a world he had previously denied. He learns to accept the new in life and finds how easy things come when he wasn't afraid. Its touching, bittersweet harmonies just resonate with me.
