I've read about Matt's former Heroine addiction, and I think this song is about that. It's about hurting your loved ones with your habit and feeling guilty about it.
"I don't think it's very nice to
Walk around my head all night"
The singer can't enjoy his drugs because his trips are being flooded with thoughts of his loved ones and how he's hurting them
"Can't find a reason for these feelings-
Got enough of them"
Well, first off, it's "coming up around me" instead of "got enough of them". and it means the singer is confused as to why he feel so guilty now when before he was able to indulge his habit without a second thought about those around him.
"This guy he told me,
Said he's gonna send me something lovely"
His dealer. 'nuff said.
"But even still at times I wonder
What you're thinking of me
You're prob'ly sure I lost my mind,
Oh mind, Oh mind, Oh mind, Oh mind"
Again, reffering to his guilty thoughts.
But still, it could work with the "lovestruck" theory most people initially think too. Either way, I love the song. One of the best on the new album, and I love how he sings just after the bridge.
I dissagree.

Oh, and
Oh, and
"I take it down town, finally lose it"
