What I got out of it is that he's dealing with the person he loves being with someone else, and she is still selfishly holding onto a part of him ("I am the only guy she's hooked up with tonight/Probably, probably not" & She is the sun trying to touch him but there's something or rather someone in the way)
But yeah, I mean, the whole "Who did I think I was.... Just let them be happy" verse is definitely giving me that feeling, like he knew her before she was with this other guy, and he was hopeful and such, but it turns out she never felt that way (Or did but is with someone else).. Like I said, in this situation the 'tree' could maybe be the guy between him- the puddle- and her, the sun.
I can't ever make heads or tails of the dirty god lines, but I love them nonetheless! Dunno if my interpretation is 'right' but the song is awesome.
Interesting. I always took the puddle metaphor to be optimistic because it sounds kind of serene, but it definitely fits in well with your interpretation.

Going by your interpretation, the dirty god and dirty body lines may be him failing to get over the girl by sleeping with random girls at parties. He wants to fuck anyone he can just to forget about this girl who is now with a new guy (perhaps her ex, making this the same girl from Looking Like You Just Woke Up), but that's not the kind of person he is, so he can't.

It bothers him when he's hooking up with this girl who is high. He tries to rationalize and say she's hooking up with him because she wants to, but really he knows she'd probably hook up with anyone. This makes him feel dirty. That's why he's only alone half of the time. The other half, he could be with someone (like this stoned chick) but he chooses not to, he hides.
