i think this song speaks of a relationship between two people who, despite loving one another, aren't able to make a real relationship work. They are on the same page in terms of intellect and in that way are able to communicate (or better yet, just plain talk), but that does not always translate to a relationship. They need, or perhaps one of them needs, something more that they aren't getting ("never felt so close/never felt so all alone"). I speak from experience: "just because it's real doesn't mean it's gonna work"
