I think this song is not just about the choice between two lovers, but about all of the excruciating choices we have to make in our lives, eg. the 'Sophie's Choice' type of decision about which child to save, and how some choices are just impossible to make;
"What kind of scale ompares the weight of two beauties
the gravity of duties
or the ground speed of joy?
tell me what kind of gauge
can quantify elation?
what kind of equation
could i possibly employ?"
She finishes by saying that having to choose between things/people you love is an unfortunate reality of loving so much.
