Matt uses the metaphor of the struggle of leaving a tightly packed New York party to either find a quiet spot or go home to represent the struggle in finding time to talk about a long-standing and possibly stale relationship.
[Verse 1]
You said we're not so tied together
What did you mean?
Meet me in the stairwell in a second
For a glass of gin
[Chorus]

Can't we just go home?
[Chorus]
Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there
Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there
