Lyric discussion by ganalysis 

first off i love this song and for it's meaning i think it's about a woman our man (the singer or one of the member of the band) realized late that she had too much baggage on her after falling in love with her. the song begins i think with our man feeling bad about this stranger who has been failing in her endeavors then falling for her. but realizes that winning her heart was a bad idea. he calls her high wire. the second verse i think says the success she's had now was all because of our man and when he asks her to take him along with her fame she wouldn't as if she thinks, now i'm famous i can do anything, including playing around with other men. all in all he says she's a good lover but too expensive. so he says she'll lose control all night long when he finds his true love, sorta like making her jealous.
