Sometimes kids have lives that just don't teach them how to love. This song is about two people who had such childhoods, now trying to live their lives, but just don't seem able to.

@dravifo Bingo. The song is most definitely about people who love one another but are a little messed up and lose their cool with one another a little more often than they should, and sometimes in more extreme ways, but they hold on through the years and can't let eachother go. There's real love there, they just make it harder than it has to be, and can't tell you why. There's no real reason for them to fight, they're just not emotionally secure.
