I agree with tsdude. I think the song is about a friend he is in love with and is trying to warn her of despair that is coming into her life. The lines, "Careful where you stand, my love. Careful where you lay your head. It's true we're always looking out for one another." makes me think that he's definitely trying to save her and warn her about something that may happen. Them being really good friends is where the equal partnerships comes to play in my mind.
