This song is about an affair and is lyrically broken up into two parts featuring his lover and his wife.
He refers to his lover as Babe. She is mysterious, alive, broken like him, looking for way to escape. She is not judgmental like his wife, and loves him in the moment. In the chorus he refers to his wife as Honey. She is familiar, boring, and the lyrics speak to the reasons why his marriage is failing. He has to slither back home from Eden where he has sinned with Babe. “just to sit outside your door” is a metaphor to the fact that when he’s home with his wife Honey he’s still mentally far away with Babe in Eden.
