But seriously, I think this song has something to do with falling into a relationship that you weren't expecting. Maybe then we realize that it isn't necessarily about what we want in a person, but a more primal feeling of love. I think they use being in the family of a ruler as a metaphor for this; that if we fall in love, it becomes a stressful position with a lot of work required, and if we don't put the work in, we still have a "ways to go."
