Lyric discussion by ausimex 

I think this song is about problems with a work friend that is a higher rank than you and you don't really want to be friends with them. Here are some examples that support this: "No I'm not as proper My money's in copper" "Higher education making sense" "Listen, I don't really know you And I don't think I want to But I think I can fake it if you can Let's agree there's no need, no more talk of money Let's just keep pretending to be friends, oh oh oh"

I have to say that I agree with you. I don't think it's about a romantic relationship at all--I feel the same exact way about a few of my friends, usually friends of friends or a friend in my group that everyone else loves but I'm only friends with them because if I wasn't, everything would be awkward and it's just better to pretend to be friends even though we don't like one another if you get me.
