I was lucky enough to see these guys live some time ago, and it seemed like everything stopped as Gary sang "Hold me in your freezing arms before I have to go." Brilliant.

As for this song, it seems like the resignation of an inevitable departure. The band has said a lot of thei album came out of ill-fated relationship songs and reaction to the war in the Middle East, so it's a toss-up whether it's merely a departure or a full-fledged break-up.

"I wince a little but its not because I know the truth"

I think that line shows that the guy dosen't know that the relationship isn't going all too hot (pun intended)

Because he says earlier he is cold to her.
