This song is clear as day if this has ever happened to you. I joined the military and soon after broke up with the girl I loved. The first time I took leave back to our home town I was so confused. This is exactly how I felt. In this song JM talks about being in love with a girl and they parted so now he doesnt want to go back to LA. When he says, I'm not sure that I really ever could hold on to a hotel key
in your bedroom neighborhood, he simply means it would be so hard to be so near her and have to stay in a hotel when he just wants to stay with her in her bedroom like he used to. He says he will burn up in her atmosphere, meaning it would drive him nuts to be around her and not be able to be with her. My favorite line is, Cause I'd die if I saw you, I'd die if I didn't see you, meaning if he went back to L.A and saw her it would hurt him so bad and if he didn't see her it would kill him that she is so close and they are not together.
