The person in the song is afraid to express their feelings, and then how he wishes how he could open up like all the drunk people could. He doesnt' watn to get mad at anybody tonight, he just wants to be friendly, even though he knows no matter how nice he is they will pretend they don't even know him the next day. Then he talks about how he saw a girl at a punk rock show, and for just that night they spent time together all alone that seemed so impossible, and how they had a great time, but the ending "maybe somehow this scam will still save us all" shows that the same thing happened to him with her as it did with all the other people he had met.
