They’re reading this right now, like directors sitting in the audience.

It’s great. Their album’s nice to listen to as well.

It’s her singing anyway.

It’s not even clear if they’re together in the present, all we know is that he knows her. And after imagining that nice little scenario, he admits that even that might not last. But whatever happens, she’ll be fine because she’s hot.

At least, that’s my reading of the last stanza.

Isn’t it creepy though, the whole bit about the romance falling apart? Or maybe just bad medicine to anyone in a long term relationship.
