The line, "Who put these bodies between us?" I think really sums up the grit of the song. These two people have become so mechanical in their lives and love-making that instead of some dynamic force, it's become a mathematical equation, cold and predictable. The "transcendant" feeling of love that might have once been such a strong point in their relationship has gone missing, and it leaves her asking, "Who put these bodies here between us?". I think Johnnyc was hitting close when he said that it was their "spirits" wanting to meet but being seperated by life. Perhaps it's boredom with one another, or perhaps it's something else, but I think the singer regrets that this cold seperation has become to prevalent and wishes it weren't so.
