I think the song may have to do with Meg leaving him. Maybe he thought everything was fine and one day he came home and she was gone. "Then I come home. No one to wrap my arms around, wrap my arms around." Similar thing happened to me actually. I love the White Stripes! They should run for office. lol.

Um, to the guy above, that couldn't have been true, because Jack wrote that in 1999 (It was intended to be on their self-titled album), and that was before Meg and Jack split (they divorced in 2000). That wasn't really an interpritaion, but, yeah....

It's about feeling like your always a day late and a dollar short. On the Live DVD "Under Blackpool Lights" He says that everyday he feels like he's in the right place at the wrong time. I'm not saying that that's how he truthfully feels, but it makes since with this song. He's at the right place (home) but at the wrong time (his lover's not there).

According to their divorce paper Meg and Jack stopped living in the same house from very early on in 1999, so the song could be about that
