Her boyfriend is content with things the way they are: they hang out before he goes to work, get high together, and hook up... but she is looking for a deeper connection. When she attempts to confront this issue, he only recoils further. It seems like she isn't even really a pot smoker ('cause you taught me to) but instead she is getting high because she knows that's the only way she'll be able to spend this time with him. This is interesting because marijuana often has the effect of making people more introspective and less in touch with their surroundings, thus distancing the boyfriend further from her psychologically. The last stanza implies that as a drug user, the boyfriend feels no need to leave this space that they share, and she is coming to accept that this is the only side of him that she will know.
@tjdonohue this is a great vision, I hadn't noticed that yet! The tone is totally bittersweet and almost romantic feeling, of the lyrics and of the instrumentation. it kinda invokes that the singer has become resigned, but still cares too much for the subject to let go.
