Well this song is obviously one end of a telephone conversation (thats why in parts of it it seems like he is talking to himself)between two people who had a past fling but r now both in serious relationships you can infer that niether is really happy with thier current partners and that's why they confide in each other but for some reason that is never explained they can no longer be together(maybe they went thier seperate ways after high school or college and now theyre leading lives that are polar opposites) you can also infer that the girl is crying because of a fight she and her new boyfriend/husband had the fact that he book ends the conversation begening and ending with the phrase "honey why ou calling me so late" makes me think that she likes him more than he likes her and that she didn't really havee a reason to call him but the sound of her beautiful voice put a "fog" over his brain until he finally realizes the whole conversation has basically been about nothing at all and once again ask what was so important that she had to call in the middle of the night for some reason this song reminds me a litte of goodbye earl by thee dixie chicks and how in that song mariane goese on to acomplish great things but wanda has a shot gun wedding and ends up with a malicious wife beater and at the beginig of the song theyre best friends well I think the girl on the phone and the guy had to go thier seperate ways in life but instead of staying best friends like mariane and wanda or in thier case continuing to be boyfriend and girlfriend they just tried to forget about one and other until the girl really needs the guy but unlike mariane he doesn't want to come help her he is content with his life and doesn't want to risk it all for some girl he met in a bar his freshmen year of college sorry I know that was really long and confusing but ya
