The song tells you exactly what's up -- neither of them know how to love. Perhaps because she's too busy working, hanging around the office to let down her barriers. The guy doesn't know how to love, he's not willing to commit, maybe he doesn't know how. It's very common for people to get physical but never intimate.
Everyone pretty much gets all that, it's the last lyrics that I don't think people are getting. It's not that only she's said and wants love and he won't give it to her. It's about getting out of the day-to-day that keeps you from slowing down, the office, the heals, the elevators, the bright lights and instead to spend a whole day snuggling in each others' arms -- in other words, to know love. This is what both of the desperately want, but they're too wrapped up with their issues to experience it.
