The song simply decries a love situation where everything is "nearly" perfect but something is preventing the good relationship. One tries hard to make everything work out, yet something is still holding the two apart from each other. Almost everyone can relate to a relationship at some point in their lives where the lyrics would fit. R.E.M. are truly great musicians.
