This song is basically about that moment of mutual (Not a word of OUR weakness) horror when you wake up next to the wrong person after a night of drinking.
And as magicman said, it's a mistake that gets repeated-
"Wash away my weekend
Shatter my sight
C'mon sweet amnesia
You're needed here tonight"
means he goes out to get drunk in order to forget the things he did last time he was drunk.
One line I'm not clear on:
"The fairest arms still tally up the faintest stars"
Fairest here probably means most reasonable, not prettiest, and tallying up stars could refer to getting stars for good behavior as a kid...
