I can't put my finger on the meaning of this song. Obviously about him thinking his partner is so close to him, and he misses her, yet he doesn't want her to be anymore than friends. 'She's like a glass of water in the middle of night' justifies this. She's making him feel alright, yet not spectacular, but she can still support him. In spite of this, he can't just be friends with her, because morales and values get in the way, or something like that is stopping them from being just friends. Which is why he exclaims 'what is this world that we're living in!?'
