I really enjoy this song mostly because I feel that it connects up with past events in my life. There's just something about it that's magical.
Anyways...
"If the fire's out baby
How you gonna keep me warm
Supposing you let me
With the door wide open no one can leave"
The idea here seems to be that if the love between two people is gone, how is the singer going to continue going on. Also both people are at an impasse because neither can move or act.
"I know it's a lie I want it to be true
The rest of the ride is riding on you"
My favourite part of the song. The singer has given his/her heart to the other person and now "the rest of the ride is riding" on them and thier actions. It's "I've done all I can do, your turn" type of idea.
"Over goodbyes we'll buy some place
For wishing you could
Keep me closer
I'm a lazy dancer
When you move I move with you"
I lumped the last line it to make grammatical sense. The singer wants to rekindle the lost flame of the relationship even though (s)he knows that everything is lost. The last two lines have me stumped though.
"If somebody's got soul
You gotta make them move
Make them move"
Another tricky one to get. I think it's more of a warning to other people not to let the same thing happen. Don't let go of your one love because then life isn't worth living anymore.
That's my stab at this song. Either way, it's my favourite song on "Fantasies".
I really think you make some great analysis with the lyrics.

You said you weren't certain on how to interpret it. Maybe you could look at it as telling people that if someone has what you are looking for within them, "soul" then you should make them move to meet you half way.
