this is strange that you all took this as a mostly sexual song. everytime that i hear it i imagined that it was much more a song about someone whose significant other is having an affair, yet he chooses to pretend to ignore it.
"I heard you late last night
I wish I had my distance
I hear you crash around and say
That no one listens
I wish that I would hear you say goodnight."
she's in the other room after she thinks he's gone off to bed and is talking to her other man on the phone about how she wishes she could be with him, and the narrorater just wishes that she would come back to bed and say goodnight and that it is him that she loves.
as for
"I heard you late last night
You were in such a hurry
Not a sound behind these walls
Makes me worry
I wish that I could hear you say goodnight"
i believe that maybe his woman had left to go see her other lover.
but, hey, maybe i'm wrong and it is about masturbation.
