this song is also on drake tungsten's ep (britt daniel's side project) and the first line of the other version is "Well I want to get messed up on drugs." I think that reveals that this song is about a drug addiction and the real-life problems one faces when struggling just to survive through the addiction. I guess it's just a criticism on the complications of maintaining a relationship when so many other tempting things are trying to lure you away from her. I think "I Could Be Underground" is talking about how he is contemplating doing drugs in his basement and being in his room with his girlfriend.
