This song has nothing to do with being a lesbian! It's about a long term relationship with somebody emotionally unavailable (sara) and the struggles that go along with it:
"Build a wall of books between us in our bed"- When going to bed turns into reading book after book until the lights go out, no longer having that sexual spark
"repeat repeat the words that I know we both have said"- Going through the motions, saying "I love you" every night out of habit
"Relax into the need we get so comfortable"- Losing the newness of the relationship
"Remember when I was so strange and likeable" - Remembering the newness of the relationship
"I just want back in your head"- Wanting to have a real intellectual conversation with your partner not just the "how was your day"
"I'm not unfaithful but I'll stray"- She's not a cheater... but emotionally she needs to be pulled back in, or she gets a jolt out of flirting with other people just because she can
"When I jerk away from holding hands with you, I know these habits hurt important parts of you"- She doesn't like PDA it's a problem for her partner, she becomes hurt and feels like Sara is ashamed to be with her
"Remember when I was sweet and unexplainable, nothing like this person unlovable"- She is now cold and uninterested
Basically I think that Sara is wanting to end a relationship because she is no longer romantically interested, but doesn't want too because they are too close. Like best friends, or roommates.
