yeah, i did consider the possibility that it wasn't about a relationship, because tom's lyrics are usually so good that i thought there had to be another level to the song. and there still might be, i don't actually know, but one verse in particular gives me the impression that it's about a person:
"We used to like all the same bands
We used to have all the same friends
What do we have left in common
Just shared memories of good times"
it's certainly not irrefutable evidence, but i just don't see how anything but a human being could like the same bands and have the same friends as someone else. i dunno, maybe it's just steeped in metaphor. i hope so, in any event.
