It took me a while, and I could be wrong . But here's my take on this beauty of a song . This song has a lot to do with connections. Both making them and losing them. If you listen closely you'll hear the hum of a train,plain,motorcycle,etc..all these different avenues of travel represent different ways of staying connected. One can choose to get off and go home,or keep riding until they find the right connection. The person in this song is fighting with the idea that they may never find the right connection. A person whom they truly want to go home to every night. A person whom he can share his shattered thoughts with instead of traveling as a lone passenger. He's asking people to shed their love or atleast take pity on him, because even though it looks like he's distant he's trying the best he can.
