Incredible song. One of Matt's best. A few lines here stand out to me: "What happened to thinking the world was flat?" "I'm talking to what's left of you/watching what I say" and "just hoping the right words will come"
I think this is about finding out more about someone and realizing maybe it won't work, or realizing you love them but you're not in love with them. A lot of Matt's tunes have a theme of some sort of romantic yet melancholy realization. This one seems no different.
Or maybe they just made the mistake of asking each other how many people they'd slept with before each other. That'll always do it.
