This has recently become a favorite of mine. I was honestly surprised to see it as one of the only 2 without reviews.
"You'll find the road gets harder; signed dotted lines will cling to you like a tax." I think the song is about losing a love to the recording industry. The narrator's love was also musically-inclined. The "six years" of her life is probably her contract.
Most of the implied loneliness is obvious, but the beauty is not in the mystery of the words; the small references that make the song all the more personal to the artist add the poignant punch that it needs. She's all around him and all he can do is bite off his nails.
