This song's verses sound remarkably like "Told You So" from the Stunt album, while the bridge section ends on a chord that reminds me of the chorus from "For You" off of Everything to Everyone.
Lyrically, the song seems to be Robertson reflecting on a relationship that fell apart. In the first two verses he is lamenting not handling the situation better and instead exacerbating the conflict ("...such a hole in the ground..."). Throughout the song he is taking responsibility for his role in the relationship's failing and expressing his desire to make amends. The lyrical theme is similar to the past BNL song, "Call and Answer."
And as in some other recent BNL songs, one might wonder if he's writing about his relationship with Steven Page a bit in this song.
