"loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting love"

A most impressive line for any song. A very, very favorite line of mine for any song, ever. Huge kudos, James.

To me there is no way to see this line representing anything but how we reflect, from every conceivable angle (hence, the "lines dissecting") on the "what could've beens" when things don't go as we thought they could or should in the matters of love.
