  General Comment:Cucci67, I must concur.
  I feel like it is someone in a relationship looking for a way out. Especially in this line:
  Touching to make it work
  When we know this is useless
  
  I know. Out of all lines, why that one? The other lines seem like an explaination and that particular piece seems like a confession. As if the person is aware that there is nowhere else to go in the relationship but down. They are aware of exactly what their relationship is at this point. On the outside, it would seem to translate to "We are purely physical and even though it is empty it is still something"
  
  Or something like that. I am definitely hearing someone who feels nothing for the person they are singing about, but still wants to.
  
  Hah, I probably didn't make any sense there..
  
  
  
  I stumbled upon this yesterday while listening to Pandora Radio. I ached to listen to it over and over. I did a search on myspace and downloaded it for free. I listened to it for almost 4 hours straight.

    i think its about a toxic relationship, maybe domest violence
    "And I am scared of you
    Always you come around
    Saying that you're sorry"
    
    like that person gets violent and does things that hurt their partner whether physically or emotionally but then always says sorry for it.. and this other person is getting tired of it.
    
    they've tried to work at that but it doesnt work anymore, they feel there is no remedy
    they've thought about breaking apart into their own ways but they are afraid of hurting each other even more...
    "Touching to make it work
    When we know this is useless
    We're holding back for fear of hurt
    
    
    
    one of them finally wants to be honest and say what they've been holding in for so long
    "And we owe this to ourselves
    To say what we really mean
    Honestly, I can't see how this could end happily"

  General Comment:Seems like its about a relationship that's been patched together numerous times and is finally ripping apart at all seams.
