I'm going back to 505,
If it's a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs,

Stop and wait a sec,
Oh when you look at me like that my darling,
What did you...

   From Urban dictionary:
   
   TOP DEFINITION
   505
   Pronounced Five-Oh-Five. The thing which is simultaneously keeping you alive and killing you, often used to describe a person who you're in love with (but who may be bad for you).
   I knew he was bad for me but I kept coming back... I needed him. He was my 505.

   It is basically about Alex turner meeting his girlfriend in the hotel room 505. "It was the first proper love song we've made", Alex Turner.
   
   Or
   
   About a long distance relationship.

   Maybe there is a refernce to area code 505 which is central or northern New Mexico which would fit with the "7 hour flight or 45 minute drive".

   I think this could be about this guy, completely in love with a girl, or so he thought. he loves her, just maybe no longer in a romantic way. almost back and forth on it, because it pains him to see her crying, but at the same time doesn't know if her touch gives him the feeling it used to. "I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck, or I did last time I checked..." he's conflicted, and maybe he's going back to an apartment room number #505, to tell his girlfriend he can no longer be with her.
