Agreed, this is my favorite song on the "Ghostly Swim". It's a feel good song about just a moment between two people who get drunk and get close but don't want to make anything more out of it than what it is. "Lets get drunk on ourselves". I love it! The song's pretty straightforward until the end:
"You said you would kill me, hands wrapped around my neck, I feel so alive." My personal interpretation is that they both just get so into it that they completely let loose. The confliction between her saying she'd kill him and him feeling so alive shows how sex can be different things to two people. If you look deeper into the song, it almost seems like she is the one saying that it's just sex and she doesnt want to get attached, but he does. He's the one who's been "hanging around you for some time", she splits him open. He tells her to not pretend that she cares, which almost sounds sarcastic: like he's trying to justify it to himself. So in the end, even though just hooking up with no meaning kills him, he feels alive just for the moment that he's doing it.

How's that sound for an explanation?
