Soooo.....
I'm not going to analyze this too much because I think we will never be able to decipher each and every lyrics and that is kind of the beauty of it, each person can interpret it in the way they want. However, I do want to share the general idea I get from it.
I thinks it is just illustrating one relationship that haunts him throughout a lifetime, one where he feels much more for this girl than she does for him. From the first verse I get that she is just that kind of girl, the one who acts like she doesn't really care about anything and it is all just a stepping stone to the next place she's going. He loves her very much, and is just recalling memories. I think he might subconciously realize it won't last.
Then, they part, and he fools himself into thinking that it meant enough to both of them to last, though it doesn't.
He grows old and still recalls their relationship. He's sees now that she never really cared. I think that
"I asked you to kiss my pulse. you offer to start the shower.
I want a verb and you give me a noun."
Is just showing that she is never really giving him what he asked for, especially when that thing is something really intimate that will involve emotion beyond just enjoying sex.
"What do you dream up while I tongue you down?"
While they're being intimate, her mind is somewhere else.
And then the very, very last stanza shows that they were together so much that she knows him very well, yet still doesn't love him.
