That would sound plausible if one hadn't heard the lyrics before hand. It doesn't make sense. Why would he say "Man I feel like hell so come on over be a love machine and I could be your friend" if he was talking about old band members? I think it's about a guy who's in a relationship with a girl, but all he wants out of it is the sex. "Be a love machine and I could be your friend." But on the other side, she's serious about the relationship, hence "I don't wanna be the crutch" I don't wanna be the one that you stand on for support, I just want you for one thing.
