I love this song, to me its about a doomed romance the man in the song loves a women, but he knows that in the end they will only cause each other pain destroying the love that they have with her lies and his refusal to commit to her.

I also love how in one version pete drops something, but he just picks up where he left, it makes it seem that much more intimate.

The guitar is also beautiful
