One of your lines is wrong... It's not a mime troupe stowin'. Dave actually sings "Like a match you've started, we're all aging double"...if someone would like to correct that....
Just a few thoughts about the lyrics....
I think the song is principally about change for the good, and how it's such a source of comfort, that no matter what's happening out there in the "big bad world", what you have is what keeps you safe, and keeps you content. Hence, the "we slept arm-in-arm, so soundly ignoring the outside sounds...."
The spinning machine I think refers to an old-school gramophone, and perhaps the shoes on shoes dancing is alluding to some romanticism being involved in the change I mentioned earlier, which goes with the notion of sleeping arm-in-arm with someone.
The match line might be about how once life's started, the only path left for it is to end, and so we shouldn't dwell on things and miss out on opportunities, which is another reason why I think the song's about positive changes in your life.
