I think that the song is about two people who connect in one way or another through sorrow ie .Hello again, friend of a friend, I knew you when Our common goal was waiting for the world to end And then things change between them some way or another causing confrontation that one always brushes under the rug, pretending it didn't happen... ie. Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again But the one still can't loving the other despite all the frustration and stay by their side... even when nobody else will put up with them ie. I'll send you my love on a wire Lift you up, everytime, everyone, ooo, pulls away, ooo From you Then he/she starts finding more to life than this other person but can't seem to pull away from the habit of cleaning up his/her messes, picking up the pieces when he/she gets hurt ie. Got balls of steel, got an automobile, for a minimum wage Got real estate, I'm buying it all up in outerspace Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick, the past again This iterates the fact that she/he keeps staying by the other's side no matter what... even as they chase fruitless pursuits (most likely relationship/sexual due to the "you'll take a ride from anyone") and that they'll pick him/her up when it inevitably fails. ie. I'll send you my love on a wire Lift you up, everytime, everyone, ooo, pulls a way, oo Mechanical bull, the number one You'll take a ride from anyone, everyone wants a ride, pulls away, oooh from you |

It seems to me that the song is about two people who meet and become close through some sort of tragedy or unpleasant event... ie Hello again, friend of a friend, I knew you when Our common goal was waiting for the world to end Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again i'll send you my love on a wire Lift you up, everytime, everyone, ooo, pulls away, ooo From you Got balls of steel, got an automobile, for a minimum wage Got real estate, I'm buying it all up in outerspace Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick, the past again I'll send you my love on a wire Lift you up, everytime, everyone, ooo, pulls a way, oo Mechanical bull, the number one You'll take a ride from anyone, everyone wants a ride, pulls away, oooh from you |

| I agree with most of what you have both said, but I think that maybe it hadn't been a relationship YET. When the song says "it's time to forget the road we never traveled along," I feel it implies that he knew they couldn't be together, but that didn't stop him from falling in love, so when it came time to make a decision, he knew that there would be no future, so he left with what little heart he had left to save himself from more pain later. | |
