This song really gets me on a roll, espcially when it comes to the chorus I can't help but sing along :P
This song is definitely about fighting for love, trying to make your relationship work through the ups and downs.
"My love is exploitation
Not a passing celebration"
The line is so catchy! I think it's saying how the person never takes their love for granted. and every moment shared with their lover is a moment that never goes to waste. When in love you seize every moment.
"And I don't want to feel
Like a part of history"
They don't want the relationship to end and be part of his 'relationships with ex's that have failed' history department.
"And the grass is greener, on the other side
That's where I want to be, somewhere that she can really see"
He's trying to be the best that he can be for her, even if that means changing himself for the better or worse. Love is not always about how much you suit a person but how much you're willing to change to suit them. (Guess where I ripped that last line from lol, one of my fav songs).
"We all go out like we come in, kicking and screaming"
this is the line that really gets to me, there's so many ways you can interpret it.
It could be reference to birth & death. We come into this world through our mother's wombs, "kicking and screaming (more like crying though). & we die in the metopherical sense of "kicking and screaming", meaning very reluctantly, like a child chucking a temper tantrum. "Kick the bucket!!!!".
Or in a relationship sense, we can begin a relationship with fights/disagreements and relationships end with fights/disagreements.
