pretty sure a lot of it is metaphor.
i'd say it's about a complicated friendship..
one of them has pretty low self esteem and the other is
there to kind of pick up the pieces and show them somebody cares.
chorus explains it.
'send you my love on a wire,
lift you up every time everyone pulls away from you'
think of it like the friend is trying to make a romantic move on somebody,
but they get shot down, the person pulls away, and you have to 'lift up' thier spirits.
at the same time your friend has so much pride that they never admit to any of this kind
of situation.
'Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick, the past again'
