This song is about someone who is trying to move on but is being held back. That is obvious, what isn't obvious I think is that it is told in two perspectives. The chorus is a different person, even tho the singer does not change. The person sung about is some kind of former athlete, who is wanting to return to a dangerous sport, which he refers to as "bed" in the chorus. The bed is sometimes call the womb, or place of familiarity. That's what this arean of competition is to this former player, his place where he belongs. His friends however know that he should no longer be doing what he once did, and they are happy to have him on the sidelines where he might be physically safe, but is dying inside. Internal "Struggle"
