I feel this song is about a couple about to break up, in the song he is already calling them "friends".
In the first verse he tries to fix the problem but it never works.
Over the next two choruses he uses want and need very effectively. He links need to shallow, and want to challenged. He can deal with them taking what they "need" to live from each other, but when he realizes that they take from each other for what they "want" he really contemplates ending it.
He knows they'll pull through, he's so confident he says buy some tickets to the show because we will pull through.
Turns out they don't pull through and all he has left to offer is a broken heart to the next girl.
