Great first single. I agree with awillis and rscofield thoughts. If a couple ("The Lovers") isn't ready to fight against adversity and the current situation of the world, "The Lovers" will lose this fight.
"I dreamed I was watching
A young lover's dance
I reached out to touch your hand
But I was watching from a distance"
To me this seems like a couple drifiting apart from each other.
"We cling to love like a skidding car
Clings to a corner
I try to hold on to what we are
The more I squeeze the quicker we alter"
This may refer to a couple clinging on to their feelings for each other, the only thing they have left.
So in general, I think that this song refers to the current situation in the world, when couples find out that their dreams aren't what they used to be and deception comes. Although "The Lovers" are losing this fight, they still have the chance to turn things around and win this.
