I find it hard to believe this song has so few comments. SR-71 has grown on me a lot lately, especially this song.
I think the break up is right, but he projecting what he wants-- a way to make the pain go away. It sounds like he's gotten to a point where he thinks he's just going to be alone and has accepted it ("But for you, It'll always swing down"), and is trying to make himself feel good by thinking about some "magic" thing that could make the pain go away...maybe it will be the same thing that realizes that he shouldn't be afraid or feel stupid.
