The title is about Pete Rose and how he cheated, but then Pete Rose being cheated out of a spot in the hall of fame.
"Well, I will never end up like him.
Behind my back, I already am."
The speaker is obviously sleeping with this married woman and saying he will never be cheated on but just like Pete Rose, he loses something and that is.... he will never have her.
As for....
"Head like a steel trap, wish I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't," - this is like Pete Rose wishing he never did it...... or maybe for the speaker as well because he goes on to say.... "I don't just want to be a footnote in someone else's happiness."
"mr. sandman showing his beam
when he walks into the room the walls lean in to listen
serve out bright waves click back and forth
like old headlights sniffing all of you again" - I agree with what people said before.... this is about insomnia and channel surfing.
"It's a sign, (it's a sign)
It's a sign, (it's a sign)
It's a sign, what if you peaked early." - I think this is the speaker asking the married woman if maybe she got married to early.
Ok think about it this way........
