I always pictured this song as sort of a lyrical version of a late night conversation with the speakers boyfriend/lover/husband. She's saying that they were made with the capacity to laugh and love but they have to learn how to take that gift and express it through the hard times. I feel like "Intuition, deja-vu
The Holy Ghost haunting you
Whatever you got
I don't mind"
and
"Secret fears, the supernatural
Thank God for this new laughter
Thank God the joke's on me"
are sort of descriptions of what the conversations are about. And then she wraps it up with saying that they've been in worse relationships and situations [landfill rainbows and junk yard of love] and that it's not what they deserve, what they deserve is what they have with each other. I love the landfill rainbow and junkyard of love line because it pairs the beautiful with the ugly which seems to describe perfectly those situations where it's the right thing wrong time or whatever.
