A small comment here -- she's not questioning anyone's sexuality in this song.

"Hey Jupiter, nothing's been the same.
So are you gay, are you blue?
Thought we both could use a friend to run to."

The second line "So are you gay, are you blue?", she's not referring to the dude's sexuality (or herself), there's a "hidden" (yet pretty literal) meaning to that, shes coined a phrase using both a literal meaning and a metaphore, where "gay" comes to take its original meaning of "happy", while the "are you blue" part is indeed asking him if he is sad -- "Are you happy? Are you sad?" by asking that, shes showing that, though brokenhearted, she still cares about the man she fell in love with, which is further evidenced by how she calls him Jupiter thorough the song: She has feelings for him, even when he turned her into a wreck.

"Hey Jupiter"

No one's picking up the phone
Guess it's me and me
And this little masochist
She's ready to confess
All the things that i nerver thought
That she could feel and

Hey Jupiter
NOthings been the same
So are you gay
Are you blue
Thought we both could use a friend
To run to
And I thought you'd see with me
You wouldn't have to be something new

Sometimes I breathe you in
And I know you know
And sometimes you take a swim
Found your writing on my wall
If my hearts soaking wet
Boy your boots ccan leave a mess

Hey Jupiter
NOthings been the same
So are you gay
Are you blue
Thought we both could use a friend
To run to
And I thought I wouldn't have to keep
With you
Hiding

Thought I knew myself so well
All the dolls I had
Took my leather off the shelf
Your apocalypse was fab
For a girl who couldn't choose between
The shower or the bath

And I thought I wouldn't have to be
With you
A magazine

No one's picking up the phone
Guess it's clear he's gone
And this little masochist
Is lifting up her dress
Guess I thought I could never feel
The things I feel
Hey Jupiter
