I love Travis and this song is no acception. This song to me depicts the slow and painful breakdown of a relationship. This guy is standing in town, torn to pieces, watching but not appreciating the going-ons (sounds of the passersby, cars, etc.) He is crying the tears of a clown and abusing his mind. He wishes, like we all do, that pain like this came with a fore-warning, but, alas, that is rarely so; he laments, 'Just tell me when it's coming around'.
