I kind of agree with satasays. It's like someone on the outside (the listener) is learning about a relationship from only the couple's phone conversations. The choruses are the girl's words, and the verses are the boy's words.
The couple got into a fight, and the girl is saying that the guy isn't treating her like he should be. (first chorus)
They guy thinks sex will make her forget about the fight.(first verse)
It doesn't say it in the song directly, but the couple has sex. Other things happen that the listener doesn't know about (because they don't happen over the phone), but then another phone conversation happens:
They get into another fight. (second chorus)
Then the guy breaks up with the girl. (second verse)
"Who wouldn't let me be all alone? Who wouldn't let you scream ohh into a soft pillow?"
The guy thinks they'll eventually find other people.
"I'm such an animal, and baby, honestly these teeth won't let you go."
I think this part is the only part that isn't part of the phone conversations.
The guy is thinking about the breakup, and he's kind of saying that the only reason he broke up with her was because he didn't want to hurt her anymore.
The guy still has feelings for the girl, even though she doesn't think so.
I have a feeling that they started talking again in person, and started dating again.
But then, the last chorus shows that they're fighting again over the phone.
Basically, this song is about on-and-off relationships. Even though it seems like you really love the person, you just keep getting into fights, then you break up, but then you get back together.
You just keep going in circles, and nothing ever really progresses.
This song is beautiful by the way. (:
