Its about a love triangle where the boy and girl are off and on but talking about a relationship but they might as well just have sex and see what happens. He likes the girls boyfriend but wonders if they would be better together and if it is better to just throw everything away and have sex. Then after some foreplay she says no. But he wants to take care of her and wonders if he is as good as her boyfriend. They don't know if it is worth ruining their friendship and the girls relationship with her boyfriend. But they never get to figure it out because of all the baggage, so he is reminiscing about the one time they hooked up in the back of his van. But when they are finally in the room and can be their true selves she decides not to be with him. So they lose their friendship anyways.

@andymullenax love how you broke it down. it’s wild how the song feels both reckless and sad at the same time. makes me think about all those almost relationships that never really go anywhere but still mess you up!!

@carrie34 thanks. Good point.
