"and words just make it worse / they're misunderstood / see just like there / if you can't spell it out / if it's just understood / then you think it isn't there"
when Doug says "see just like there" perhaps he is referring to the "they're" in the previous line. it is really quite clever and true. if you cannot spell out the various forms of "there" (there, their, they're) you could possibly miss the true meaning of the word.
I think this song is speaking to the difficulties/frustration we face with morals and character when we realize how conniving we really are even when we try to be genuine.
this might be off, but indulge me...
