The song puts us in the middle of a couple fighting. The man has his suspicions that his girlfriend is cheating and takes her computer and uses things he knows about her to try and guess the password to her (email?).
Shes mad about it but he only feels jealous/compelled to force his way into her private email because he "loves" her.
She insists that nothing is wrong but the singer says hes noticed things arn't right there is "distraction, boredom and vacancy".
He eventually cracks the password and discovers that she lied about a trip away to see a girlfriend and was cheating.
He realises he was too busy paying attention and listening to hear to see the signs sooner but he knows he wont be hung over her forever.
Spot on. I'm right there with you and even though he thinks he finds out that she is cheating it's all just a little bit creepy too. Kind of like one of those "Roomate" movies...like he's going to be waiting with a hatchet when she gets home. I love songs vibe. That WahWah and the organ though out the song gives it this late 60's early 70's "Me and Mrs. Jones" kind of sound. Then the cord change is almost like glass shattering when he finds out about Anthony.
