You've got it people. Just saw Elbow at Wembley and Guy explained that this is about the concept that if your life flashes before your eyes when you die, then effectively we can choose our final thoughts now. This is about a time he spent in a room with a girl and he wanted to record it - as his final thought. He's happy to die so long as that time, in that room, with her is his final thought 'switching off with you'. What a lovely tribute to pay to that girl - whoever she is.
