Simple melody, simple lyrics, simply amazing.
If you know enough about Jules, you know the meaning of the song is pretty clear.
All right, he's tired of everyone. They bore him; he's just not satisfied with them.
At first, the other side isn't very clear, but we can infer that later.
Next verse is his little cycle/routine. He hates them all when he's sober. He loves them all in a drunk state. He then drinks himself into a depressed-drunk state & hates them more than he would when he's sober.
Now, the other side? It's like the recovery side. The side he knows he should be on, but doesn't bother to go. The reason why he doesn't isn't because he doesn't want to; recovering from alcoholism isn't easy, so why go through the efforts if there's nobody even waiting for him "on the other side"?
It's totally Juliet! She was their manager at the time. Maybe it's just more obvious now because it's 2011 & they've been married for 6 years, but y'know..
Now that Julian's introduced her to the song, his attitude takes a turn up. Now, Jules is actually wanting to change & be better for her.
That's why he says he knows she's waiting for him. She makes him want to get to the other side.
