I always thought this song was about 'she' trying to escape her feelings for 'him', but getting sucked back into it over again. So the line "running away from you just like running a business" to me means that knows she wants to escape it, and she approaches it methodically, but inevitably one little slip and she's back in...

I think it makes sense. I just thought it meant that running away is more complicated than it seems, and it requires a lot of upkeep.
