This song uses a rollercoaster as a metaphor for a relationship. It’s a commonly used metaphor in pop culture. The grandmother from Parenthood says it best:

[Chorus]
You're like a rollercoaster
You got heavy metal wings
You could make a dead man scream
You're like a rollercoaster
[Verse 1]
Rollercoaster, we was the best of times
Rollercoaster, we was the worst of times too
Because you lift me up so high high high
It's the most unbelievable ride
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Rollercoaster, can't find my friends on the ground
Just lift me up and send me spiralling down
Because you lift me up so high high high
It's the most unbelievable ride
[Chorus]
You're like a rollercoaster
Heavy metal wings
Make a dead man scream
Rollercoaster
Rollercoaster
Rollercoaster
