I agree with elemento. The lyrics are posted in a digi-booklet at the official QOTSA site. It is "evil EYE".
Google it. The term is defined as "the belief that the envy of others bring on personal misfortune"
In other words, fully translated i believe its something like this:
You wanna know why we broke up, I don't know,
I don't understand the jealousy of others, or how we broke up.
I don't know how it started, and I don't know how it will end.
I'm not here to break up, just see how far it will draw out, again and again.
Sometimes relationships are different, but mostly it's the same. These^ quirks of love, I just don't understand. If I told you I knew all about love, I would be untrue.
The only thing I know for sure, is what I wanna do.
I like the connotation of the words used, such as "untrue" for lie, because you can be untrue in a relationship.
The fact that he wants to make out again and again and isn't there to break it means he is the one still invested in the relationship; he loves this girl, but doesn't know why, or why she doesn't return it. He feels that he has lost her love spontaneously, and is confused, so he just goes with what he knows, until it happens again.
