Thank god bluemoon5. Spot on! It's exactly what it's like for people in concert touring (artist, crew et al). Its tough when you are on the road but its equally tough when you are the one left at home. Whether married or not if it's a committed relationship it is strained, sometimes beyond your capacity to endure and you seek affection in the arms of others but the key is both can feel like that and both feel restless at night. Different people deal with it different ways. In fact when re-reading the lyrics it looks like the song encompasses both povs. The first half of the song is the person who is gone on the road. They acknowledge that they have caused a strain by being away. The second half is the person left at home saying yes it screws us up. I wish I was stronger too but you know what I’m only going to tell you that it doesn’t bother me but I’m also going to let you know in other ways that I don’t like it (I’ll just pretend that I’ll leave it up to you). In the end they both think the relationship is worth the fight and the pain they feel.
