Very powerful. I've definately thought this song was about a guy cheating on his wife, but there is a very subtle, very beautiful undercurrent to the lyrics of where his shame lies in the act of doing so; he mentions nowhere that he feels guilty because of his own wify, but feels guilty about the other woman, it would seem, in lines like;
"In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully "
and
"Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face"
