Cover art for Web in Front lyrics by Archers of Loaf

yes! i mostly agree with the last explanation. he was hurt by someone else and now he's just being careful with this girl. he warns her that things might not be so perfect as you picture them to be in the beginning of the relationship. and if things go wrong, it might be no one's fault, that's just the way it is with love.

i wouldn't go and analyze the song word by word, some parts can't be taken literally.
