The part, "New York eyes, Chicago thighs," has always intrigued me. And lately, I've been thinking that the person they're singing about has big city dreams, but at the same time they savor the taste of their humble beginnings.
I think this song is saying that the guy is the deathly part of the relationship and thinks he is going to exterminate the girl; because of this, he sacrifices himself in order for her to be happy. Especially when Patrick sings, "The truth hurts worse than anything I could bring myself to do, to you."
"Pushed up the window to kiss you off," was an interesting part as well. I assume that Patrick, Pete, is the one pushing the window up and letting the girl go off. Or maybe it shows as well that they are accepting the end of their relationship, that they just want the best for the other person...
