I adore this song. The part that jumps out to me most is:
And we could ride all night To the pace of a blinking light
(About continuing life, going through the day-to-day motions and patterns)
Wishing traffic was faster
(wishing for change, but the change doesn't seem probable or accessible)
Keeping safe distance
(not rocking the boat)
But courting disaster
(knowing things are about to fall apart)
I think the song is about a relationship that's slowly falling apart, since the people aren't treating each other right. They are letting things go, when they should be addressed, and being victimized by, and victimizing the other person. The relationship is going to pieces, because it isn't being maintained.
