My interpretation:

It's about two people who are both outcasts and who don't get along well with other people because they're rejected. They realize their common characteristics and fall in love. The "retarded in love" line is meant two ways: retarded together because they're the "retards" of society, and retarded as in madly in love.

This is such an excellent song. The first time I heard it, I chuckled at the line where he talks to the girl at night because the minutes are free, haha. That's so true, people talking at night for the free minutes.
