This song is riddled with contradictions:
1) "You can't write the same song over again, It's in the same key" There are hundreds of thousands of songs writtin in the same key... if your not familiar with keys here's one for example... G... there are literally endless songs in the key of G
2)"Making up for miles, just a little while." Miles take along time to make up for, its not some small off-handed event.
3)"Underestimating, you know you think we're doing so good" An underestimation would be thinking that "we" are not doing good at all
4)"Glad to be a part... danger" He says he's glad to be a part of a bunch of negative rhetoric...
5)"Race on the... way to apathy" Racing to do nothing? Hurry up and stop?
6) (my personal favorited) "life's little let downs, spontaneity" A spontanious event is not preconcieved... you can be dissapointed by something that you didn't plan on happening... Its like saying, "i'm dissapointed that someone didn't walk up to me today and give me a million dollars"
That's one in just about every line!
As for the line "Glad to be a part... ...danger" I think it could mean the exact oposite of what was mentioned in the earlier post. Since it is her heart that is "whithered" and "incased and left for danger" it's more likely that she is the victum. However, going with the theme of contradiction, maybe this person has not been heartbroken in anyway but is merely avoiding heartbreak. The "encasing" is evidence of this. In this case, the let down is more of the absense of spontineity, this person is completely afraid and avoids any spontaneous action. She's "running the road to apathy" and, since she does not allow the narrator into her "heart", he is glad to simply be running beside her.
