I think this song is about a relationship and not a friendship.
The couple are in a not so serious relationship, maybe friends with benefits and they are both headed in different directions.
I think that she realizes how much she really cares for him, and in spite of the fact that they are headed to different parts of their life, she is telling him that things don't have to end. They can start a life together, instead of leaving things the way they are.
"we could keep things just the same, leave here the way we came, with nothing to lose."
I also think this song does a great job at expressing how hard it is to tell someone you care for them...
you don't know if they will feel the same way you do, and because of that, you're always leaving the ball in their court "i don't want to, if you don't want too..."
