| i think this song is about a failed relationship, which he took for granted. and he tries to say sorry and wishes he could go back. he says"Sometimes is all the time. And never means maybe" then says "sometimes i feel alone" it could mean he's really trying to say "i feel alone all the time" and that he really needs her.. but he knows that it would be selfish and stupid to just say that cuz he was the one who took their love for granted. he wants to go back: "Am I still that man who makes you who you want to be" but filled with guilt he questions his worthyness. in the end he decides he needs to move on. and says "Sometimes I feel alone" while actually he really feels lonely all the time.. | |

| i think when he says "i never noticed, how lovely were the aliens" he means that throughout his life he never noticed anything that was out of the ordinary, ie aliens. to him, finally noticing and seeing the stranger and more out there things in life is such a "lovely" thing. the whole "moving on" over and over part is probably about scott trying to get off of drugs and so many other things and that now is the time to truly move on after all the addiction. | |

| I think it could be about leaving a relationship, and the alien part, could be about how he never noticed how lovely other women were. LOL, that's just what I get out of it... | |
