to me this song is about the idea of a meaningless fling, but it is interspersed with emotions of love and chemistry. the narrator is perhaps equating the quick affair with something more...In Rainbows is so full of longing. It's as though Thom and the band are perhaps looking back on their younger days where they found relationships hard to form and where the the promise of something more usually disintegrated as soon as the lights of the club came on.
Perhaps it is also about the intimacy and chemisty found in bars and clubs...that feeling of being uninhibited for a short time, and for a short time the Jigsaw does fall into place. In truth, you know that is is just a temporary feeling, conjured up in a nightclub environment and meant nothing.
