Bones definitely has the connotation of "boning," but in the context of the song (and the fact that it's plural), I think it suggests something deeper than just sex. The bones are representing their bodies as a whole, but just saying bones makes it sound darker, like an empty, dead relationship.
I agree, I think that he did mean for the connotations to be there, but I really don't think that it was written to just be about 'boning'. I think it implies a less graphic, more whole meaning. Like that 'yes, don't you want to have sex with me, don't you want to be right next to me- the kind of closeness where we are just skin, just bones'. Not 'don't you want me to bone you'.
