This song talks about a relationship that has been so completely used up, that the man no longer cares what happens any longer. His well is dry. He tells her that she's got to remember the once beautiful relationship they had. He tells her that she has walked astray, and that the only place she belongs is wherever he is. He feels that they need each other, but the constant battle of holding on is leaving him exhausted. He's telling her that if she leaves now, everything they have worked so hard to build will be for nothing. She's got to come back, and she's got to be strong.

Love has a way of controlling our steering wheels, and this song reflects that beautifully. "In a way, I need a change from this burnout scene. Another time, another town, another everything. But it's always back to you." This piece of the song is talking about how this negative aspect of their relationship is recurring, and he truly wants to get away from it, but somehow he can't seem to fulfill his own wishes. All of the other verses are set up the same way. The chorus discusses his inner monologue of introverted questioning of his resilience towards this relationship. This entire song represents the struggle between a once beautiful and passionate love turned acidic. People get caught up in how the love once made them feel, and constantly return to the person who once gave them that feeling, even though that person has turned from a place of comfort to a destructive incinerator of time, energy, and emotion.
