I remember being a teenager and being quite moved by this lyric. Now I realise I'm in my thirties and no longer a teenager... and that makes me depressed.

Yeah. It always reminded me of the lyrics from Bowie's 'Strangers when we meet'.

[FoolofaTook]

Strangers on the street
luvars while we skeet

[MTAE]

As you might have guessed we won't make it home, desolation yes hesitation no.

[run2pee]

it's about the reunion u guise

At first perceptions of yourself
Who came and sung from where you are?
You can escape this, by someone else
Your lover waits

If bill can shake his "first perceptions" of himself (quit obsessing over who he was in the 90s and what it meant), perhaps he can escape "this," i.e. the slow sad nosedive of his career since breaking up Zwan, and by joining with "someone else," he can reunite with his True Love (SP)

Run2me, run2me
My special one, run2me
Run2me, my love is strange
My lover strange
Run2me, you can't be changed
Run2me, run2me

bill is asking someone (or something!) to "run to him." not walk, RUN. Who can it be? (answer at the end)

Where you're from spoils the lean
As the desert rose, desert dreams
Run to me, my tempered sage, run to me

bill was lean but spoiled it by trying to coast on "where he's from." he knows he needs to return to the desert where all wise men (e.g. Jesus) went to fast. bill hopes if he can correct the lifestyle that's dulled his mind and body, his "desert rose," his "tempered sage" might run back2him

Oh, to that light in every window

this, arguably the best lyrical image in the song (and on MTAE as a whole) causes our hearts to break for bill. ever since that final night at the metro, when james walked out without saying goodbye, bill has been the lonely wanderer of a snowy night, spying golden rectangles upon the shadowy drifts, longing for the light in every window.

o what wistful pangs ... how can bill make it back inside, where there's warmth! friendship!

Without deception
From your tone, from your tone

bill is beginning to admit he's deceived himself the last 16 years to assume "his tone" = "the SP sound" and that his guitar skills/voice would Always Get Him Back On The Radio, no matter who he surrounded himself with ... deep inside, bill hates himself for this, and hopes to find the courage to abandon the safety net of "his tone/his voice/HIMSELF" = "SP"

my solemn rage
he who can be named
no other door touches me
my love is strange

"no other door" to a reunion was possible without bill's reconciling with james. bill is learning that it's easier to carry "love" than his "rage" at james in his old age, as "strange"/foreign as that "love" may feel after so many lonely years plumbing spite and bile

so ... who did bill want, nay, need to run2him?
