By far the best song on Midnite Vultures...the music is simply perfect. Somewhat ironically, this song doesn't "belong" as much as the others in terms of the lyrics (the rest of the album acting as a satire of glamour and the commercialism of sex).
I think it's about the narrator wanting to break up with his significant other but still mantain a close friendship with her. To his surprise, she wishes to do the same thing, thus making possible an almost "beautiful" way of breaking each other's hearts, as they still maintain a tight friendship.
However, there are some rather, er...promiscuous lines throughout, so one person could look at it as a one night stand as sorts - a beautiful, romantic time out with another person, though it obviously isn't meant to last in the long run.
I think the girl in this song is actually the one with the issue. It seems to me that she has this delusion of grandeur. I think she’s some dramatic, could’ve been that settled for beck but there’s always some alternate future that’s tugging her away from him "Calling her name"

I think this song and Broken Train are the best songs on Midnite Vultures for the same reason. They're over arch, they fit outside of the ideas on the rest of the record. With this song being about someone who's so in love with another that they'll fawn over every minute they spend with the culprit and Broken Train being about the difference between the "one percenter's" and the "bra burning poor" and the moral/ideological differences between the two.
