Cover art for Odette lyrics by Matthew Good

Personally, I don't see this as a love song at all. To me this song is about person struggle. In this case maybe more specifically about his battle with bi-polar.

Being exhausted, but your mind is awake and racing: "I look tired, but I'm I feel wired"

"And my body hums like it's coming undone" I have actually felt this. Skin crawling...

The want of being free of constantly being so aware and alert of everything around you..unable to relax. He wants to be less awake so he can forget what's happened to his life.

And the midnight with the stars...makes me think of driving on a highway. Maybe the escape of all his troubles?

Just my personal interpretation of the feel of the song I guess.
