It's about two souls that are intertwined, perhaps part fantasy and part reality. The reality is that they're broken and it's complicated. When he needs someone she's there, but maybe when he says, "i was having a high time living the good life," he's referring to drugs. When he's not high, she's the one he goes to. Seems perhaps they've known each other for a while and the relationship is deeper than just sexual.
The song is so intimate and beautiful. Just so beautiful. Not even sure what it's about, but it does seem contradictory. I guess he wants his cake and to eat it too. He wants all of the goods of a relationship without the work, just when he's lonely. I personally like to think of it as a song about a deeper connection that could be everything, but for whatever reason it's just not happening.
I have only a couple of soul connections, neither of them are necessarily sexual, but I've thought sometimes maybe they should be or could be. I've thought, why can't this happen, it could all be so perfect, but it never does. No one makes a move and we go through seeing one another go through our troubles separately, when we could be together, but not all connections are meant to be that way. You can be patient, but sometimes waiting isn't worth it and you just have to try to move on even though that person will always mean a great deal to you.
I've heard this song a hundred times, but until recently I've never understood it on a personal level. I think your description is pretty accurate though. I say this because..

I met the love of my life when I was twelve. We've been close off and on for 25 years. We are each other's oldest and closest friend. When he's hurting, he's always come to me; I am the shelter from the rain. And though he does love me, I am not the love of his life. And now, for the first time in our adult lives, we're both single...

And now, for the first time in our adult lives, we're both single and we keep trying to make it work between us, but it always goes wrong. The bond is unconditional, the love is there, and while he wants me there for him, to live with him and take on the world together, he doesn't want to invest his heart. He is still in pain from his recently failed marriage and losing the love of his life. He'll tell me he cannot commit but the intensity between us and expressions of love make it impossible to understand. We get so close, I get wrapped up, then we'll get drunk and we'll argue or he'll sleep with someone else and it all implodes. We'll tell each other it's over and say our goodbyes, but neither of us can pull ourselves apart. We keep hurting each other over and over.
