Yes, it's about love, and I suppose it's more normal sounding than some NMH songs, but I wouldn't say it's lacking any real, honest soul. There's a lot of subtlety to the lines. "I hold it into an arm so real/There is something we could feel." That seems to be more of a drug reference to me than one of love.
"Smokes and cups and words that rhyme/Dripping ceiling, lemon-lime": This line seems to give to give a similar unworldly or unnatural depiction that one would get on drugs with "Dripping ceiling." I'm still not sure what to make of all this though: "Eyes of gray and pavement green/Wrap your arms around the seam/Take your love and hold it close/The slightest suggestion". Anywho, my two cents
