To me, this is about a relationship that becomes a cycle.. the pair run into a problem and fight and break up, but always know they'll keep coming back to each other. The guy is tired of going of the pain and sees it's all turning apathetic with the amount of work they have to put into it ("..by the time that I have figured what it's worth, the squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse").
And the "Sometimes it seems that I don't have the skills to recollect" verse really gets me. I feel like I could have written this song...
