It's about getting into a fight with the person you love, a fight that doesn't just break hearts but that kind that breaks "china plates" too. Clearly the couple wasn't just having a little spat. This was a major fight--one where you feel like you're right, and they feel like they're right, so neither one wants to give in. Despite all of this, I think the song offers some hope for the future. The last chorus lines, "If I keep thinking this way/ We won't be making up tonight," lead me to believe that the guy wants to work things out and makeup with the girl he loves. Just that wanting, that desire, makes me feel like there's a chance things will work out for the two. Love works both ways though; she's gotta want it too. Wow, I feel like I know the couple in this song, and I want to know what happens to them. Maybe there will be a sequel someday?
