I very much feel that this song is about cheating, and more specifically, with someone that person has already cheated with in the past. "Play me down my lover", to mean downplaying someone to appear as though nothing special is happening, nothing unusual. "Our anticipation, and our bad behaving", a la the excitement surrounding doing something illicit; "it's like we learned our lesson but conveniently forgot the rules", perhaps having been caught or otherwise trouble resulting from their first go round, but they don't care and are willing to risk it again.
"I've got a question, would you ever dance with me like that?" and "would you ever play along again?" meaning the person asking the other if they'd be willing to play the game again, to play along in their sketchy activity, etc.
I figure that the whole "don't hurt your best friend" bit involves reluctance to hurt the person who will be cheated on, and thus caution must be taken to ensure they don't find out the truth.
I love this song and can relate to it completely. It's brilliant!
