I definitely think this is a song about people who are two different races. I can see how people might think it's romantic but he put on the album for a reason. Probably inspired by all the racism that sprung up after 9/11...

There's a lot of talk going `round now Let'em talk you know you're the only one There's a lot of walls need tearing down Together we could take them down one by one

I don't necessarily think it's a romantic song either - it could just be about two guys who want to be friends. This is one of my favorite songs from The Rising - it's kind of bittersweet but undeniably positive and beautiful.
