I love this song so much
but i think where he says 'too much too much'
it's actually 'you're, too much, too much'
it sounds like it - but it might be a moan or something like that
Personally I think it's about a boy, on a night out at a club/gig/rave, lamenting a lost love with a girl who he's there with. Perhaps they have just broken up that night. In their final exchanges he at first allows his emotions to show:

Before it all becomes too much:
"too much, too much"
"too much, too much"

And he makes one more effort to be cordial:
"lets shake...
"lets shake hands and say goodbye"
The rest of the song, about facing the night and seeing it through, could be about them trying to at least enjoy the rest of the night because it's all they have left together, even if it is just as 'friends'. I think he is the 'Skeleton Boy'; he's a relic of his former self, emotionally stripped to the bare bones by the end of his relationship. But none the less, he vows to carry on and 'see it through'.
