Compared to the Intersections album, this song is a much better 2nd track than "Spinning Thread." A few reasons...
The lyrics are genuine- they are spaced out and well written. "Spinning Thread" is a migraine of a poem. This song is way more refreshing.
This is a hopeful tune. Musically and lyrically. Paired with "Open Casket" it flows nicely as an optimistic following thought.
That polyrhythmic drum beat at the end is sick. All of the instruments in this song gel together really well.
I think it's a song about a man maturing in his relationship with the woman he loves. The relationship has been rough before, but he is realizing that he ought to be with her. Lines like "you don't deserve to erase all our days" sound selfish, while "there's really no need for one more of me" echoes a selfless sentiment. I like that the chords at the breakdown sound more innocent, and so the lyrics ring out with more clarity: he's tired of his selfishness. He's realizing that giving is more important than receiving.
This has grown to be one of my favorite Into It. Over It. songs. The lyrical content is some of his best.
