I absolutely adore this song. It's quickly jumped to being one of my favourites! I guess what the song is, is a very cynical view of romance: neither of the two people are perfect, or even good people. They've both made massive mistakes- his "mouth and his words" rarely connect, she's "sold on cold indifference", but they've found each other and even though it's never bound to work, there's something keeping them together.
The last line really cements it, really. The guy (I'm assuming, since it's a guy singing it) is fed up of broken relationships and everything going wrong and is giving up all his hopes on this one time. And even though it's never worked in the past and he'll "probably get burned", he knows it's better to have it all fall apart than "not try" in the first place to make it work this time.
