After reading the comments I think I understand the song better. The song is definitely how you feel when your in a friends with benefits or Mistress/Affair situation. You love the person or the thought of the person, but in the end you could never truly be with the person or fully understand that person, because your only getting the best of them. You technically don't have to deal with the bad stuff. "when john says he will beg is way into the garden and get back out when it rains, and then come back again" Its hard to trust your feelings because the whole relationship is shallow.

I'm in a kinda wierdish relationship. I met a guy when I was 16. Then back again when I was 20. And for the past 15 years we've been having an affair, we even have a child together. we even married other people and still keep seeing each other. But I could never see myself leaving my husband for him and I'm pretty sure he could never see himself leaving his wife for me. But we still do it religiously, John even says "my past is indicator or your future" But his cheating past would be my cheating future. I couldn't trust that!
