It's about a destructive relationship. She is his 'revelation' but they run through the same arguments all the time ('my simple slant, this broken chant'). In the second verse he's trying to get her back with his open arms' and his 'lucky charm' (perhaps the charm in his nature that attracted her to him) but he's f**ked it up, and it's too great to fix. The chorus is about how he needs her, but the hurt that he gets from the relationship is all too much to take. The third verse is pretty self-explanatory, they've finally self destructed as a couple and he'd go back to her if he could ('I would ride to you this day, but it's all too great'). The final rendition of the chorus has a slightly different meaning, it's how he's saying he needs her now, even though he knows they hurt each other, and that 'sometimes it's easy just to hate you'.
