"
Pour a little salt we were never here
Salt has healing properties, when put on open wound they help the process along. Probably metaphorically speaking, he wants this doomed relationship to heal, to even "Just last the year."

Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun, aint got no end
Ooh
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain
Ooh
The “play pretend” is the world she inhabits while high. By characterizing her high(s) in a child-like manner (“play[ing] pretend”, the “playgrounds” mentioned in verse 2, and endless “fun” are stereotypical juvenile desires), the narrator subliminally conveys a realization of the immaturity of her actions.
When she says Can't go home again shes saying she can't go home, although she is having fun, she still misses the guy she is talking about in the song and someone needs to numb her pain.

Spend my days locked in a haze
Trying to forget you babe
I fall back down
Gotta stay high all my life
To forget I'm missing you
Ever since someone left her shes been trying to fill the gap with drugs, and alcohol and a fast moving life. Just so she can forget the person, but she can’t and instead remembers him.

“Fall back down” contrasts with “stay high. It plays off the drug-related use of "high” by evoking an image of her falling from flying. When the drugs wear off, she remembers him, and feels worse.

You're gone and I gotta stay
High all the time
To keep you off my mind
She has to stay high (on drugs) to keep the guy she’s talking about off of her mind. She cant go home because then it reminds her of the guy.

want
So much it's hurting
You're all I want
So much it's hurting
This is what the song is about. About wanting someone so much it hurts. About missing someone. About not being able to be with someone, either literally when your away from them, may be you are separated from them, but may be also because you can't be with them publicly.The lyrics are about fighting for a love that he (Harry) can't have. Now some might say it is about girls he has been linked with but it seems so much more. The plea at the end, in the last verse, just makes it seem like he is talking about a current established relationship.
