![]() At the end of the chorus he says "or alone ust one night," suggesting that he'll be back in the dating game or what have you by morning and that the feeling of losing this crazy girl is but a good night's sleep away from disappearing. He's once again being facetious, saying that he's reeeeeeaaally totally definiiiitely considering what it will be like to be alone for a while because he's soooooo distraught that he lost this girl by being suuuuch a fool. "Caught me thinking what it might be like, to be alone for a while, or alone for just one night." This is another sneaky line. He knows the whole relationship isn't his fault, and he's mocking both the girl and the idea that the relationship ending was all his fault. He's being facetious, or to be more blunt, speaking sarcastically. "Now I know beyond a shadow of a doubt it's my fault" is the tricky line. "Was it ambition or war of attrition?" This line is asking if it was his own hubris that led to the end of the relationship, or were they really just outlasting each other's flaws? "Honey you could always take it out" suggests that she became pretty nasty whilst criticizing him. Next, he says, "As if my drinking was the only thing that drove her away." He's suggesting that it wasn't just his faults that ended the relationship. Then he follows up by saying, "What was I thinking?" Meaning he now disagrees with his past self and could probably suggest a bunch of reasons she would stay with him (basically, he no longer has her up on that pedestal). Like she had been put on a pedestal and could never do wrong. He starts by saying, "Back when we started, before we parted, I would wonder what would make her stay." So obviously he's saying he felt that his lover was so beyond him. I think the meaning behind this song is so sneaky.
