I sort of feel like this is a song about being older and realizing that you've wasted time chasing after physical gratification when you could have been looking for something more meaningful. This is the interpretation I've settled on after watching the music video, with all of the gorgeous 20-something tattooed young models writhing about on camera while the band (each member of which is 40 years old now) sings. It's as if the musicians don't see the young beauties, singing past them, addressing themselves to "Love." Their careers have brought them an embarrassment of the flesh, but they yearn for something more spiritual.
