This song is about a man who is cheating on his wife. He convinces himself that he is just telling a 'white lie' and that it is not hurting anyone. He lies to the woman(or maybe man) he is having an affair with, and lies to his wife that he would "never wreck our home". As he tells one lie, he must tell another to cover that lie up, so on so forth. The line: "I'll be home soon" is what he says to his wife... the image in my head is that he has just slept with the person he's having an affair with and his wife calls him asking "where are you." and this line is his reply.
Clever, catchy song. :)
