The narrator is a hedonistic philanderer, with no sense of responsibility. When he's found out cheating, he runs off home 'til the heat dies down. His relationships never has a chance, 'cos he just doesn't see himself settling down ever.
His girlfriend has her nose to the ground and finds him out: "I have no idea how you know
When I dip my toes In other people's oceans."
He tries to butter her up: "So I tried that night To do all the things I thought you'd like."
She sees through him, so he does a runner back to his place to avoid the responsibilities of commitment: "When the heat dies down I'll be back in town But until that time I'll be round at mine."
He's always like this, it's not a one off: So it was "at the start," as well as "at the end." He never took commitment seriously even from the beginning.
In fact, he doesn't take ANY responisibilities seriously: "I just can't face another argument about the rent" which he can't be bothered to pay.
Marriage was never remotely a possibility with this guy: "I can not imagine growing old To have and to hold Til death do part each other."
He's a heartless bastard, and that's all there is to it: "I was purpose built To not feel guilt."
So, until the "heat dies down," and all the people he pisses off, cool down, you won't see this guy for dust.
