I think the song is talking about the typical "I wish I'd never met you" thing. I think that they were going through a time where someone screwed up, and in the very moment, they had wished they had never met them. Although, there is a haunting memory of all the good things that came out of it, something happened that broke that trust.
"I miss the way you wanted me
When I was staying just out of your reach
Begging for the slightest touch
Ooh, you couldn't get enough, mmm"
That is the symbol of all the good memories.
"I never meant to get us in this deep
I never meant for this to mean a thing
Oh, I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
I got caught up by the chase
And you got high on every little bit
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away"
That symbolizes that everything that happened was rushed, but at the same time, so caught up in the moment that they didn't even realize what was going on.
And then the chorus tells you all about how all these things made them feel that way. They wished they'd never met them, they wished that person was the one that got away. It's a longing of wishing to undo time, and let them walk away. It was all just an image in their head, come to life, and gone wrong. I think that's what the song is about.
totally agree..
it was something incredible and rare... so good, so fast... and it fell apart suddenly... and now that it's over it now it hurts so badly that she wishes she'd never let it happen because then she wouldn't have these memories to contend with.
