I think you're all right, but I wanna add something. This line here:

"I put my hands around your shoulder You're saying you're scared is all I think I know too much about you..."

I think what it is is she's saying that she's just scared, and it might imply that she does this often with different emotions, and he's saying that he knows too much about her in the sense that he knows something's wrong but she won't say. Then it seems he figures out what was bugging her with the dragging down and pulling up, because:

"Yeah she drags you down and she pulls you up She pulls you up Says that she's sorry now but it's not enough To pull you up She's sorry..."

It seems she must've dumped him or something, and she says she's sorry, but it isn't enough to make it better. This line really solidifies that idea:

"And pulls you up, she pulls you up, She pulls you up and over, over..."

The "over" thing means one of two things. Either she pulls him over a "hill" of sorts, where she pulls him back up and they make it through, or it literally means that they're relationship is over. I like to think of it in the sense of the latter.

That whole thing might be a little too analytical, but if I think of the song like that, then it fits ME more, which I like to do with songs a lot, as I'm sure we all do.
