It's definately about still loving someone who has moved on - possibly because you had hurt them. I'm sure it says heart in the chorus and i think it's 'spreading the wind apart' - he says things weird though. I like the line 'Knowin' that a quite (not quiet), unconscious feeling could be bought to drown a memory anywhere' - it seems to be about just lusting for cheap sex/relationships in order to hide the pain of loving someone who you've lost/let down '"When I'm covered by the thunder I get rid of all your breath deep in my lungs"'. Probably my favourite from the album.
