amazing song first of all ! wow...anyways, my take on it is that it is about two people having sex after they have broken up.
"One more night, that was a good one"- sarcastically as if they both know that when they say that, it is not the truth.
"The bed is un-made, like everything is"- shows that everything is not decided upon whether or not they are dating or just having sex for the hell of it.
"He starts with her back, cause thats what he sees"-meaning she has her back turned to him because she is not fully into the sex because she knows it is wrong and won't fix anything.
"dark little heaven at the top of the stairs
take me like that, ruin it all
then build it again, by the light in the hall"- meaning that when they go into the bedroom everything is ruined because in a sense it is meaningless sex because they are not dating but he will fix everything outside of the bedroom because he will treat her well.
"you'll never touch him again, so get what you can"- she sees it as a last opportunity to be with him so she will settle with just having sex with him in the hopes of getting him back
..anyways, thats what I got out of the song! Truly a beautiful song.
