Familiar with the Thompson Twins...this is a tale of the "lover's paradox".
It is the classic struggle in finding the right equilibrium that will give him the possibility of loving and being loved, without having a superficial relationship or a deep but passionless friendship (eros vs agape). The deception "I could deceive you" allows for the seduction: passion, flirting, etc. for eros, as she will believe, but it may have moved beyond that point (the relationship may have jumped the shark).
What we call the "loss of innocents" when you understand the deception and move out of passionate love.
The other side is honesty, which leads to platonic love...when the "deception" seduction/love has gone or is lost.
He spends his time trying to bridge/fill that gap "the crack", though he is the very cause of his own demise (like the rain water that maintains the divide). But like nature with the rain cycle, the human condition has its own cycle...relationships repeat this cycle, falling in and out of love, as we try to find the balance, though our innocents will never return.
It is a perfect song for 16 candles, as it is exactly what the movie is about...
