It's a beautiful song about a good love shared between two bad (or at least flawed) people.
It's the song about a woman who loves a bad man, one whose nature inherently excites her, and she identifies with in turn: (by midnight time I could not see - if I were you or you were me / give me your love, give me your gun, and you traced us back to where we begun).
There's clearly an element of danger to their relationship, and one of loving menace. Whoever she loves, he's a gun-carrying man with a checkered past, but she has her own checkered past too: (There's a heavy load upon our backs -
Of things we carry from the past).
She's a woman who found herself seeking oblivion, a release from her history, nature, and guilt: (as I was looking for a way - to disappear), and who finds that within her good love to an otherwise bad man, there's something redemptive to be found between them. (and so the morning came and swept the night away / I found a way I found a way, to reappear).
Her loyalty (I'll follow you, where you'll go, Yes I'll be there, just so you know) is reciprocated: (my guilt-filled mind, it tried to run, but you chased us back, to where we'd begun).
