I'm not sure about this but to me it sounds like there are three people in this song; the singer, "her" - the girl that he wants to ask out or something, and a third person - his competetion.
In the first few lines:
I could go and ask her first,
You could try but it won't work,
Its like they both want to ask her, but then he gos on to say that neither of them have the guts to do it and he's wondering how the night would have turned out if they had.
Thats just what it sounds like to me, but Bombay Bicycle Club's lyrics are always a little abstract and I never feel like I understand 100% of what he's saying.
