This song is about Alan Wilder, duh.

You and I have come so far / We've reached beyond the farthest star Time and time and time again / I want you back You were a friend / We can't pretend

Obviously about their time together in DM and how the band was considered at their peak when Alan was still around. Also, they were very close friends so it'll make sense how Dave wants him back.
