This is just fantastic. Their Christmas songs are so unlike the others. One of the many things I love about The Killers is that they are always so different than everyone else. This has been on repeat for a while now. :D It’s an upbeat song with haunting lyrics.

So I think this song is about someone who just goes out and sleeps with women for fun, and then one day he realizes that his could fall in love with one of them. When he starts to fall, he has to get out because he can’t deal with the commitment. So he runs away from it all, from the Woman he’s fallen for, and his happiness as well. Once he’s gone though, he can’t handle being away from her. She plagues his thoughts… she’s always on his mind.
