the end of this song is so beautiful

i think he's asking her to not try and figure him out or try to change him, he's a "pitbull in time" - what stops him are the "circles inside" which i always thought of as his own problems that only he can fix for himself. he wants her to stop picking him apart (aka resisting), to take a chance with him. "I am a scavenger between the sheets of union Lately I can't tell for sure whether machines turn anyone ... would you like to be my Misses" - these lines confused me for a while, but i think he's trying to tell her that maybe she'll be the one to stir up some emotion in him again, from living in a society that's so machine-like, he's feels like a machine, with almost no emotion. they can get away from that together.
