Arcticsquirrel11 - from the point of view of someone whose done exactly what this song seems to be talking about, yeah, it's bittersweet. They show it over the montage of his time with Jordana, but why is he really with her? I mean yeah, so he could score and get that sex he wanted to so badly, but also because he's running away from his problems.
You can hang out with someone and drown your problems in sex and trivial relationship stuff just like you could drown them in alcohol or drugs. It's the same thing really. Maybe he's hiding from real life, like,
"I don't want to the think about mum and dad splitting up, or the asshole I've become, or any of that- I just want to think about this time we have together"
I've been checking in on the replies to these songs. Without a doubt, Alex Turner and 'The Arctic Monkeys' went from being a band that I liked, to one of my favorite bands ever. I wish I could just strike the 90% of the 'Everything You Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' album from the record, because they're so much better than the punk-pop shit that made them famous.
Surprising to hear someone who doesn't like the early post punk stuff. That's what I miss most from this band. The music drew you in and the lyrics made you stay. Truthfully though some of my favorite songs from them were not post-punk sounding, (Only Ones who know, Riot Van). Their last album was a little too commercial and monotone in terms of song style imo but If they made songs that sounded more like this and others from this album I'd be on board

I love their new stuff as well but Im sorry their early "punk-pop" material was not shit.

It wasn't even pop i think. Their sound was very different, good-different. It made them famous because it sounded absolutely great.
