Definitely my favorite off this album. I'm looking forward to the new record, but I have to say I'm going to miss the Ben/Fran combination. It's so damn good, even on songs where it's more subtle like Placentapede. Oh well.
I think this song is about someone being hurt by somebody they care about so many times, they can't take it anymore, despite their feelings, and they have to leave them. The first verse says that basically he's been foolishly optimistic too many times ("I have seen the sunrise just one too many times, with open arms and mind"), and the chorus is saying, look at all the mistakes you've made and things you've done to hurt me, I tried to make it work and I'm going to miss you but it's tearing me apart ("All the amateurs you've knelt before, breaks my mind in two. They surround us. One more night without you").
Kind of fits into the title; you may love or want to be with someone, but if they continually hurt you or take you for granted, where do you draw the line?

Just my take.
