I didn't like this song at first, but then I had a dream, and was listening to this, and I love it, it goes perfectly with my dream!

Okay, so I don't think this is exactly what he was writing about, but if you listen to it, it goes perfectly with it!

In the beginning he doesn't talk very fondly of the person, but yet says if she's lonely maybe they can sneak off togther, I think this is because when he has sex with her, he's cheating on a girlfriend or wife, I think the mistress knows he's in a relationship, and has from the beginning, but still came,onto him.

He feels horrible about cheating, but the lust overpowers that feeling.

He's trying to think of a way to either pretend this doesn't happen or tell his girlfriend, so they can hopefully go back to a normal relationship and not have the weight of this on him, at the end he realizes he can't.

Also, since now he's a cheater, having once been a critisizer of people who cheat, he realizes just how common it is, or at least to wo,der what it would be like to with someone else.

In his mind this might even be a good reason to cheat "everyone's doing it".
