To me, this song is being sung by a recovered (recovering) heroin addict to another heroin addict that he unequivocally loves and wants to save.
"We've both been very brave
Walk around with both legs
Fight the scary day"
Refers to the courage required to face life's difficulties by walking through it, putting one foot in front of the other, or "with both legs".
"We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves."
Means, we've both dealt with these hardships by shooting heroin.
"If I could take the fire out from the wire
I'd share a life and you'd share a life"
Means, taking the rush, the high and the need for it out of the needle of the syringe. With the need for heroin gone we could share each other's lives.
"and I could take another hit for you
and I could take away your trips from you"
This reinforces his desire to get her free from addiction because he loves her.
i think it's about a guy and a girl who were once together, but they both decide to part ways for whatever reason. What makes it complicated however, is the fact that they still love each other, even though they are with other people - and are both too prideful to admit it. So he's finally saying "fuck it - let's go, quit fronting"... and he's telling her that he can be what she needs... all she needs to do is get over it, and pretend it never happened... he's determined, and he knows he's right.

The rest of the song seems obvious.
I really like this.
