This song, i think, is about "the one that got away"
"we talked for twenty minutes, by the time the party ended you'd forgotten
and i'm still thinking about it five years later." a girl he met briefly, who he felt he had a connection with, they haven't spoken since, he's still thinking about her and what might have been.
he tells himself it's stupid the way he is feeling "live for the present tense, and come to my senses"
"next thing i knew someone had called for the cheque
(cheque please)
and you were gone before we turned it over" that i'd imagine is the awful date he had with her.
"i think about it every time i see you
that's when i try to remember
there were never any terms we could agree to" he sees her, he wants her, then he tries to remember that they wern't right for each other but that part gets blocked out (i've been in a simaler situation with an ex)
"i dreamed we were alone all night
in a house made out of beds,
and nothing happened"
that's self explaintry, but such a great line, i absouloutly LOVE it...
