I read in an article that this song is about economic hardship and that the entire album is more realistic than their other work. I think this is pretty valid, the other day I was really sad and couldn't find a Killers song that really related to how I felt. Sometimes they can be overly optimistic. This song is a bit darker which was refreshing in a way.
He's offering support for someone he loves or someone he use to be in love with. He's saying that the times are rough and that no matter they can also come back and rely on him. In the literal sense, he's talking about a girl (daughter? lover? irrelevant.) moving back in with him.
In the figurative sense, he's saying that he understands if she finds another lover "If you should find romance/Go on and take that chance" that he doesn't want her to hold herself back.
"Before the strategies begin/Every morning, in the evening
They can suck you in/Boy don't I know it..." He's saying that she should enjoy the new relationship and everything that comes with that. He is also warning her that once the romance is dead, it can become suffocating, it can "suck" you in. He's saying that he can also rely on her, no strings attached. No "deadlines or commitments", he just loves her and wants what's best.
@WillYumm2498 - Wow- your interpretation is alittle off, actually alot off. You have to have a religious background to understand Brandon Flowers- I can relate to Brandon alot- we are raised in a religious home and although we believe we still want to try things out for ourselves which can blind us and set us of course. In this album it seems that he is passing down wisdom to his children at the same time passing down wisdom to those who might need it. But hey, what ever it means to you i guess. Brandon Chose God and his Family...
