great song. i think the person the person he's referring to just sees him as a way to pass her time, and based on the line 'own these dire nights', i think their relationship isn't a steady one, and they just meet from time to time and have these 'nights'. the speaker though has real feelings for this person despite her ignorance. even though her attitude towards him remains the same, and even though he must be hurt by her, he continues seeing her and feels whole just being close to her(to be in your shadow is to be home)
