I was having a conversation with a friend today, who has this on/off again relationship with someone she has been dating for years, and she was telling me that her boyfriend broke up after cheating on her for the umpteenth time, and one of the first things she said is "I can't wait to get him back", indicated her desire for revenge, and I couldn't stop hearing this song in my head. To me, this song is about a couple that is always hurting each other on purpose, constantly trying to settle the score. They love and hate one another. They really shouldn't be together anymore, because there's so much hurt between, but they can't seem to let each other go.
