In essence this song could be about so many different things. It could be about cheating with a lover, it could be about trying something new, or you could even twist the meaning to be about murder... it's very open ended in that way. For me personally I think it's about cheating.
I love how music (especially portishead's music) makes us all relate to a time in our own lives. For me this makes me think about how I found myself extremely attracted to an ex of mine who got married. It's a scary place to find yourself justifying your own happiness and what you would do to get it even at the sake of another's misery.
