Cover art for A Light On A Hill lyrics by Margot & the Nuclear So and So's

this song is not about a one night stand but about 2 people in a long affair that is all "tangled up like balls of string". he loves her "i just said the first three words that popped in my head" and she loved him "she burned for me". But he is tired of being in the affair "let me off the bus, I'm tired and sore and should probably change clothes". the kids are his and hers but they think that someone else is their dad and he tells her to tell them the truth about who their real dad is. the rest to me is unclear.
