he's explaining the concept of transience to his current girl. she has no exit strategy "you cannot separate yourself" and she is hanging on ... he tells her she should "keep the doors open" - he knows this because he's "been down these roads" before. he was broke and even though his previous lover told him she loved him "Not a penny to my name.But she says she loves me all the same" they were looking for something different. he's confident that his presence "In this city" has staying power - perhaps he feels the band has "made it" and he seems at a critical junction point in the relationship "Theres, an open road. And I�m traveling down. Don�t know where to go" Ironically it sounds like the girl is also a transient of sorts too "I guess that�s why we left." both looking for bigger and better things "So we could take a step" and forget the past of their homes "Keep moving and forget the rest."
