when i first heard the song i thought it was about being completely in love with a girl. no matter whats shes done in the past, or her current flaws.
like when he says "i wanna follow the footprints across my lover’s stomach....i wish i had a map of the terrain so i could step around the landmines avoid the beasts under the bed that breathe they bad times" i think hes talking about being with someone whos already been madly in love with someone. and that hes trying to understand completely. learning her fears and weaknesses. he wants to do the things with her that she loved to do before. but with him now.
now i kinda think it might have to do with a girl whos got a heroin problem. the train metaphor, and the chorus play into that a lot.
