Hah hah... That's hilarious, man. You diss Conor on the basis that he's a pansie when Jimmy has gone and done some of the most emotionally "wussy" yet beautiful songs of the last decade in collaborations with other "pansie" artists like Jenny Lewis and Ben Gibbard, yeah that's a great fuckin' criteria to base your opinion on...
Either way, I love this song because, I feel at least, it's as though the singer is singing about, pretty much, a one night stand or a one weekend stand and how the singer realizes that no one back home (New York) can ever learn about what happened here. That and the last stanza is brutal especially given how the singer wishes he could be the right man for this person but he knows, in his heart, he never will be.
