This song was probably written about Matt Sharp's girlfriend in Spain, but I think the idea and lyrics are very universal, and incredibly relatable.
I've always interpreted this song to be about 2 people that are sleeping with each other, but likely don't really love each other. This is a song about being with a girl, but makes no references to love at all. They are just 2 friends that hookup when he's in town, but he isn't making any further effort. She's says "it's alright" because she doesn't really have feelings for him either. That is, she likes him in the bed, but doesn't need him there.
The song perfectly captures the feeling of being in your early to mid-20's, trying to figure your life out, and not having the time (or desire) to be in love. But you still crave human contact, and sex, because you don't want to be alone. Like I said, it's very relatable.
I also think that the line "it's alright" is kind of a double-meaning, implying that their friendship/relationship is just alright. You know, it's not great, but it's alright.
