Oh, that's interesting. I never really knew what the actual story behind it was, but my interpretation was loosely based on the notion of long-term relationships (which I was in at the time, and what she and Thurston are in), and how sometimes things can start to get a little hum drum. So you do some stuff to switch things up and get out of your rut, like make a new wild and crazy friend. And while it seems exciting and liberating at first, all the drama eventually just gets exhausting, and you start to miss the comfort and familiarity and shared life experiences of the person you love. So I always kind of thought of the lyrics "you keep me coming home again" as being directed at Thurston, as if to say "I've been out there and experienced other things, and everytime I do it just makes me realize how happy I am to be with you."

Edit: I also thought that kind of added to the whole "marital ups and downs" undercurrent I felt the album had.
