Rufus said once that this song had something to do with one of his many relationships with straight men. I think he basically wants to be a part of this person's life again, because he's missing the time they shared together, but his heart has been absolutely broken.
I also think the "where I'll learn how to save, not just borrow" refers to the fact that the man was married. I'm just taking this from the Want One commentary.
