ok, my take on it is a little different - im not saying its right at all, but when i heard it this is what i thought.
i thought when he refers to Miss Deleaneys BF he was talkign about his self. Like the first veres he is saying 'he met this chick who lets him feel alive and makes him happy (letting go of downer thoughts) but who isnt good for him' (cos she worries about him)... then the chourus i took it as 'Miss D is acting like somethign bad has happened, and they are in 2 different places like in their view of something (she is by the window he is by the door) both waiting for each other to come to the others point of view. then the second half he is kinda saying 'where is ur bf ('where am i, i am here and fine') - I am ok, dont act liek somethign is wrong' like i thought it was about him either getting sick or his laringitis even, and miss D gets upset over it but he isnt worried about it.
the bit about the green grass and dinner im not to sure about, but i htink the bit after that is just reiterating that 'he has found somone who gives his life somethign better than 'searchign for earthquakes' which to me says he was depressed and lookign for things to go wrong, which explains why his sleep is fuck and i even took it to incinuate that if she slept with him his sleep wouldnt be fucked anymore. (tho thats just what i thought it incinuated) ...
also its ARIN not ERIN.. sounds similar but it slightly different. and the fact that he wont lie to her is just letting her kno that she can trust him when he says he is ok.
anyways, this song might have been written b4 he ever got sick so my take might be way off the actual meaning but its what i thought it meant.
