It feels like this is a song about someone who's always on your mind and you just can't get them out of your head no matter what you try to do. They seem to be at the core of everything you do ('the head on the spear'), the reason why you drink ('the fly in my beer') and that's probably because they got away ('the key that got lost'), they're love that u lost. But the song also tells that this person is just like u, a mirror image, they're just as bad as you and if u were in their shoes u'd do everything just the same way. So even though u love em, u love because they remind u of urself, and even though u'd one day get a chance to be with them u'd most likely run just the same (the second part of the song tells this the most, when he turns to speak about himself 'I'm the one with the gun, Most likely to run, I'm the car in the weeds, If you cut me I'll bleed). Two people in love with eachother, but most likely just in love with their own selves...and running in circles.
First off, the English language is in pain after all those 'u's. Secondly, in my interpretation, this isn't as much about that:

It's about how we're all trying to hide the bad person we are, and every once in a while you connect with someone who lets themselves go in the same way you do: there are many kinds of bad in the world, and the subject of the song lets themselves go in an amenable way to the singer. We see the world in the same way, and bend/break the rules fairly identically. A 'no good' woman...

I'll try to calm down with the u's. Lazy force of habit i guess.

Thank you for the comment and opportunity to see the song interpr. from your perspective. I like your perspective actually much better. It's hopeful and a lot more positive.

Good song.

I've never seen a comment as wise at that one when it employs 'u' instead of 'you'.
