I'm not quite sure why, but this doesn't really strike me as a "love song". The first few times I heard it I thought it was, but now when I listen to it, I think it has a different meaning. I kinda think that this is a song about someone feeling confused or overwhelmed, almost unsure about how to express themselves. (Not in a love way, though) They feel almost "torn"; there's something that they want to do, and they're analyzing the pros and cons. Something is almost holding them back. "Caught in the middle of a crossfire, lost my balance on a highwire, trying to figure out what to do" basically says "I'm confused, I can't seem to think what the right thing to do is".
