I think this song is about a long distance relationship between a guy and his girlfriend who lives across the country("She is on the other side").
The difficult circumstances of their relationship drives the guy to cheat. He misses his girlfriend dearly and feels so lonely that he looks for solace anywhere he could find it (and he does so in the arms of another woman).
"I gave into the loneliness but I didn't give her nothing else"
In this line, he tells her or himself that the other woman meant nothing to him. He was lonely and vulnerable, and she was just a temporary fix to his pain.
He contemplates whether or not he should tell his girlfriend about the encounter. He's not sure if she'll understand and he doesn't want to ruin the relationship so in the end, he decides to be only "almost honest," either not fully disclosing the details of his infidelity, or not confessing at all.
Great song. I love the "I gave into the loneliness but I didn't give her nothing else" line and way Josh sings it.
