one, it almost sounds like the girl was a prostitute. whether he fell in love with her or not is irrelevant, but it was a decision made in the heat of the moment that he regretted.
two...i totally agree with what everyone else has said about how he loves someone who doesnt love him back, but the song is written so loosely it could almost be the opposite too...as in he knows that it is wrong to do whatever he did with the girl because it is leading her on, but he got into it at the heat of the moment. well, it probably still makes more sense the other way.
it could also be about a physical relationship that interferes with (or was constructed with the idea of benefitting) work, and now hes realizing he is in a very sticky situation.
anyway, amazing song...leave more comments....
i absoultely love the line "i should have walked away"
I never thought about the girl as a prostitute but I went back and reread the lyrics and applied that theory to it and that really makes a lot more sense than anything else. Whether or not she was a prostitute he definitely was not supposed to sleep with her. She also may have been extremely young or married.
