"The road is always clear."
The characters have a stable life (school, jobs, or careers).
"The moon is always full for us."
The characters are in a stable relationship (engaged, married, or living together).
"I was raised up like a snake. You were raised to leave me bait that I always take."
The narrator (singer) can't resist the other character (let's call him/her "character B") no matter how much that person changes.
"One is born so one can die... The days will come and go."
The narrator explains that the good days make up for the bad days, and that when a bad thing happens (ex. a death) a good thing also happens (ex. a birth).
"You must wait a really long time. That's more than you can bare."
Character B finds his/her life very tedious and uneventful.
"One is born so one can die... The band will march along."
Character B thinks of his/her life as a funeral procession.
"'Til the day you cast a shadow that looks nothing like your own... That's not what you want to hear."
Character B feels like what has died has been the person he/she once was. Maybe he/she had higher aspirations. Maybe he/she wanted to be the complete opposite of what he/she is now in terms of life goals and/or personality.
"Rolling in on a burning tire, you're gonna set my house on fire, just to show me you were there."
Character B is willing to throw away everything he/she has (at the expense of the narrator), just because he/she feels as if he/she is someone he/she is not supposed to be.
While this song wasn't written for Twilight: Eclipse, it's played when Riley and Victoria kiss. I imagine it's played there because Victoria wishes she were with James and is willing to do anything it takes to either exact revenge or be with him in the afterlife. That would make Victoria character B in the song.
