At first, I thought this was just a simple love song -- the chorus and the first couple verses really make it seem that way. But after that, the lines get a bit more complex -- "Listen I don't really know you / and I don't think I want to / but I think I can fake it if you can". This line shows that this could be about a relationship gone wrong; either that or a relationship that is only really used for sex. But the next verse "And let's agree there's no need / no more talk of money / let's just keep pretending to be friends" makes everything even more complex. It's as if they're putting on a show for people. They want people to know that they are together, but they loathe each other and don't want to be together.
