I think this song is actually about two people happening by chance to find themselves in a relationship that was unintended. You get this sense of it being two people when he says "something we BOTH saw". and the lines "took us for a ride, way way off of course" hints at the whole unplanned factor of it, their feelings for eachother just kind of caught them off guard and found them, they weren't looking for them at all.
Also, I think the lyrics are "Gotta admit, it got us good. All this time, never got gaffled like that. We made a leap, oh it hurt, trusted you. see you later"-- this makes more sense and sounds more like what he's saying, that the two of them were more hooked by their feelings and couldn't resist it. "Gaffled" means seized or took hold of (aka this feeling they have).
And I think the whole reel us in part is in reference to giving in to the feeling, like when someone's got you hook, line, and sinker... you're smitten and you're saying alright, you got me, now you can have me.
