i think this is about an abusive relationship, but the abuser doesn't realize, hence the "It doesn't matter much you see cause your disease is killing me."

this is about making music or well writing it. also i guess the life of being a young musician? "why's my mother always right, and will I make it?" there's some doubt of actually succeeding because of how competitive the music industry is

In my interpretation, it's about an uncertain feeling. The Author (Gary Lightbody) writes about a love that is uncertain, it could be simply desire; The uncertainty is also about not knowing how to love the person he's writing the song about. So the lyrics are full of hesitation, uncertainty, and it says "it doesn't make sense." But since when can the brain and the heart communicate? I've never heard/read someone say, "I don't love him/her tomorrow because I have a thousand rational reasons to." Feelings need to change, not reason.

This was the first Decemberists song I ever heard, so it might just be a random early album track to other fans but it will always have a special place for me. It is still among my top 5, I'm sure, if I ever stopped to compile one.
