I just discovered this song. It's beautiful. I love the part where he says, "Your neck smells just like hers did."
Totally a morning-after song. I think his singing is an interior dialogue with himself, which explains why he is able to sing to the one night stand girl, but then close the song by singing to his ex. I picture him dragging himself out of bed and doing the walk of shame on his way home, and these are the thoughts going through his head as the normal comings and goings of weekend life are all around him -- people walking their dogs, city buses going by, kids laughing at the park...
I think the "adding 5 colours" verse may be metaphorical for his shame (blushing, anger, sorrow, etc.) the next morning when he wakes up next to a strange girl and realizes what he has done. But his hang over is so strong that it is requires much effort to continue any moral assessment of his actions.
