This song seems very much to be about the unsung hero. When many people have an option of two loves or two relationships, healthy or unhealthy, they try to juggle both and then hurt two people significanly as well as themselves.
Here, we have a hero, the unsung gentleman who realized his only option (other than play two women,) is to flee. He may have waited too long, maybe dabbled in the relationships longer than was healthy, but his brave choice was a long time comming. (lasted for days, weeks, too long.)
(Worn into the vaguely announced) Another way of saying the unsung hero. He's not going to be appreciated for his decision. He's still hurting two people who loved him, but though he loves them too, he will be the true romantic and do what's best for them.
The rest of it gives me the impression that he never expects to have a long relationship. In people who choose music over love, they are forced on the road and give that priority. He lives day by day. The tickets remind him where he's been, the hurt, but it least it's also a reminder that he's not a cheater... the one thing he can glean as a triumph in his life.
With this enters the dillema that isn't a dillema. As soon as we realize that at essence he is Not-one-who-cheats, than the idea of choice is gone, he had to leave. He's in an endless loop of making the 'right' decision, but ultimately remaining alone and sad. The ticket has determined it and it tells him what to do, his elusive conscience.
