To me this song is about taking up or parting ways with a woman and I like how "All the negatives have been destroyed" has a double meaning to go along with both. The negatives being destroyed with, "If you want, you can never leave" is the negativity he feels toward the relationship and the negatives being destroyed with "If you want, you can let her go" is photo negatives being destroyed which implies the loss of memory and tangible artifacts of the relationship.

However, "if you want, you can never leave and if you want, you can let her go" is a pretty ambivalent way to approach a relationship. I agree with danse, very catchy tune.
