Personally I interpret this song as his fears of how the relationship may go after getting married:
When, "everything we had once is gone" I think that he sees that the relationship can take may different paths and he will try as hard as he can to make the relationship work, "I'm gonna play till I bleed".
"And I found you in the ocean blue", is usually a happy description of the ocean so he knows that what they had was great.
"Fake sky, Rosy colored bones poke through" But he worries that it(the relationship) could take turns for the worse.
"And I, can never write a lullaby for you, for you", Which may be his ultimate fear, that he will never be able to show her love the way she'll need or that he won't be able to love her after the wedding and/or worries that they may have to get a divorce in the future(maybe because he's been around many failed marriages).
"Meet me 'cause I'm flyin' high" and "I can't believe it's happening", could mean that he is so happy that they're together even with his fears weighing down on him.
"Golden color plates, Porcelain legs and fancy dates, Love me 'cause I know it's fate" he is feeling both reassured and weighted down because he sees how perfect everything is.
"A picture perfect chocolate river and white canoe" again everything looks perfect.
"In our graves we're wrapped with leather and I'm kissing you" he decides to take the risk of marrying her and decides he will stay with her till they both die(because he knows he loves her).

Thank you :) I'd really like to believe that in the song, he really loves the person he's marrying.
