Person 1 has issues... trust, etc. It's going to F up the relationship.
Person 2:"got machine guns
I never shoot them
I only borrowed them in case we die" --> Person 2 knows some things, (machine guns) about person 1's past or whatever. Doesn't reveal this knowledge but keeps it as a weapon in case they break up (die)
"late nights
play fights
i'm freezing and you're leaving me here
blue and red, up i'm fed, you're upset, almost dead, tounge twisted" ---> They have some good times together, late nights. They start having play fights. They start having real fights. Next line, they're almost over (dead). "Blue and Red" = Sad and mad. "tongue twisted" = doesn't know what to say, how to fix it. His tongue is tied to fight anymore.
"35 nightmares & 94 days
since i got near you
and your anxious ways
hey darling, lets steal it
i'm certain you're sure
spell it to me love" --> He's having nightmares from jealousy, trust issues etc (like in the beginning when she had the issues but was going to give them to him). He's certain she's in love with him, and makes her explain her love so he can be sure. ex: why do you love me?
"and as we planned, there's fireworks stage right
swallowing the brains of all in sight
it's 1am that's evening your time
we're counting sheep
sell it to me, yell it to me LOVE" --> the climax of the song (so epic!). The fireworks stage right is a seemingly scripted, unavoidable final blowout between the two. The emotions take over, neither are thinking rationally (with their brain). It's 1 am which is still early for her. They can't get to sleep, she's trying to tell him what love is (spell it to me) and convincing him that they're in it (sell it to me) despite all this mess of a relationship.
"leave it while it still smoulders
so I have to say I told you
I carved our names in a tree there
I meant the letters to be bolder
around the angles there's a race where
silver never gets golder
maybe when we get older (baby when we get older)
we don't have to get colder, colder"--> The relationship is over although there are still feelings of love (leave it while it still smolders). When he fell in love with her (carved their names in a tree) he meant it to mean more and last longer (meant the letters to be bolder). He may have physically done this as well but its still a metaphor. They had a silver (second rate, possibly tarnished) relationship they were just waiting and hoping would turn to gold, but he realized that doesn't happen. He hopes that they don't stop being close friends now that they have gone separate ways.

I saw this a bit differently. I think this is about a crazy relationship where they're in love but they fight all the time and manipulate eachother. Let me explain.
Person 1: "i've got problems
i'm gonna use them
i'm gonna keep them from you until you cry" --> Person 1 has issues... trust, etc. It's going to F up the relationship.
Person 2:"got machine guns
I never shoot them
I only borrowed them in case we die" --> Person 2 knows some things, (machine guns) about person 1's past or whatever. Doesn't reveal this knowledge but keeps it as a weapon in case they break up (die)
