This song is about andrew and kelly's relationship as it started to fall apart while he was touring. He is enjoying himself at first, touring then, at his friends family's hotel, while she counts the minutes he is gone. Eventually tour gets old, and they stand like statues at the airport gate waiting for tour to be done. Once he returns home he does not feel the same, doesn't know how to relate and is bruised. he wishes he could go back to normal and that he didn't feel this way but he needs his space. hence their breakup and the writing of this album. I've always felt like this song was the backbone that the rest of everything in transit stemmed from.
