Now that I've read other ppl's interpretations, I think the sex/virginity/love song meaning makes a lot of sense.
Listening to it on my own, I never even thought of that. It always sounded like it was written about Kurt's death (and I'm not one of those dipshits who thinks EVERY song by NIRVANA or Foo Fighters is about his death). There's like 2 other people who thought it, too, so it's not just me. But, i don't think any of it has to do with Dave using heroin because i know he was never into that.
The whole song (minus the 'she' parts) sounds like it's about Kurt Cobain:
Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong
-I always thought that sounded like him seeing Kurt again in heaven (it sounds kinda corny, but still).
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
Gotta promise not to stop when I say, when.
-Definitely sounds like he's looking back at being in NIRVANA and remembering the feeling of being part of something that huge and real. He knows he will never have that chance again.
Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head, she sang
-Cobain hated the constant attention and publicity. When they became way too famous way too fast, it was too much to take ("in over my head"). He was mentally unstable ("out of her head").
Breath out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in
-Makes me think of Dave seeing Kurt's dead body and wanting him to breathe and be alive again. He wants to be with him again.
And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head, I sang
-(Even though I know Kurt Cobain didn't kill himself) I think Dave realized how many problems Kurt had and how much he suffered during his lifetime. He was "out of his head" and Dave, realizing this, goes "out of his head" as it hits him that he will never see his friend again.
