The best line of this song isn't in this transcription.
"I wish we were lovers, but it's for the best."
I think that line explains the whole song. A couple that can't be together and a woman wonders how things could become less complicated for the both of them. It seems that there is a deep care for each other but the possibility of them to be together is minimal. She thinks how if they were farmers they would not have any care in the world for this "grid we live in" I do agree with Swedish Fish on that one.
The "bodies between us" is everything and everyone standing in the way of them being together and they wonder where all the conflicts and the restrictions came from.
This is an extremely emotionally touching song. I know this whole scenario much too well.
