Lyrics meaning

The lyrics describe a relationship that begins with intense closeness but gradually becomes troubled by arguments and distance. The speakers question why they keep returning to each other. Their repeated questionโ€”whether they are together because they fear being aloneโ€”shows growing doubt, even as they continue holding on.

โ€œSlamming doorsโ€ suggests angry conflict, while โ€œmagnifying all our flawsโ€ means that each personโ€™s faults seem increasingly important. The contrast between being close at the start and later feeling โ€œout of touchโ€ points to emotional distance, not just physical separation. โ€œLosing track of usโ€ suggests they may no longer understand what their relationship has become.

The song does not give a definite answer about whether the couple should stay together. They recognize that the relationship may be wrong and imagine there could be someone better for them, yet loneliness may make leaving difficult. Their physical closeness could reflect genuine affection, habit, or a need for comfort. The repeated questions make the feelings sound unresolved rather than certain.
