Absolutely awesome lyricism, and incredibly creative bass playing on this track!
I think this is about a very unhealthy, unequal love affair - a woman who simultaneously enjoys/appreciates the authenticity of the deep love the singer feels for her, but is incapable of committing to really loving or opening up to anyone. She knows how destructive she can be, and tries to warn him he will get hurt but he cannot deny his feelings for her.
My favourite lines are these:
"She says, 'Maybe these emotions are
As near to love as love will ever be...'
So I agree
Then the moon breaks
She takes the corner and that's all she takes
She moves on"
...
"Then I fall to my knees
I grow weak, I go slack
As if she'd captured the breath of my
Voice in a bottle
And I can't catch it back"
