"3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
was where we learned to celebrate"
Last year, on the corner of 3rd Ave. and Lake Street, a house burned down. The Cook brothers, Justin(?), and other significant EC music folks lived there for a long time. It's the same house the Amateur Love EP was recorded in.
This sort of gave the song a different meaning to me: it's like a feeling of being slapped in the face with bad news and having to come to terms with it.

I can see him finding out about the fire, or being there as it happened, feeling like he lost a part of him and just staring into the night ("for miles"). "Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me" shows that he's referring to something really important to him - it could be the house, or the time spent there.

I'm not sure....
I'm not sure. The whole song could be about that specific loss, or it could just be about loss of good times in general. Before, I thought the chorus was a feeling of awe but now it seems to be more of a feeling of feeling lost or hopeless.
