I've always been fairly certain this is about being Christian and struggling with your sexuality, and the first 4 lines seal it for me.
"I'm gonna make it bend and break
(They sent you to me without wings)"
He's gonna bend and break the rules of modern day male/female relationships. I think the second line refers to the man he's gonna have this 'one night stand' with, because he certainty wasn't pointed towards this man by God.
"Say a prayer, but let the good times roll
In case God doesn't show"
Homosexuality is supposed to be forbidden, taboo, anti-Christian etc etc. The narrator is apologizing for his 'sins', but he's gonna continue to engage in them anyway cause God might not be the fag hating being he's portrayed to be, or he might not even be real at all.
And of course, the 'he tastes like you only sweeter' line.
@chlamydia , very creative but no. You are very wrong, in fact, if you look into it the line "He tastes like you only sweeter," comes from the 1997 play that was then made into a movie in 2004 called Closer. In the movie a wife cheats on her husband and as the husband is blowing up asking her about the details he asks "Do you like him cumming on your face?" and she responds "YES" and then he asks what he tastes like and her reply was "He tastes like you, only sweeter"

And this is backed when Pete Wentz was asked about the song's meaning he stated that it's in fact about a broken up couple that continues to sleep together. He was even asked about the controversial lyric mentioned above and he clarified that it was a line from the movie Closer.
Everything you were saying about how homosexuality is taboo may be true, but it has nothing to do with the song. The song's about how this guy is staying with his girlfriend and he isn't happy being with her. He knows deep down inside that he shouldn't be with her, but he can't help feel as though he needs to be with her, so he keeps sleeping with her which is another factor keeping him in the relationship. As for where the controversial lyric fits in, I'm pretty sure it refers to another sexual partner.
Cheers on creativity but maybe do some research next time.
