I too think this song is about jealousy. Now this is a little abstract, but I feel that this song is about Paul finding out that his girlfriend has been cheating on him. Maybe he was suspicious of her for a while, and finally caught her coming home late one night from being with her other lover, receiving confirmation that his suspicions are true. I feel this song is about their confrontation with one another, and these lyrics are Paul basically saying 'tell me who he is, does he really want to be with you and does he really want to get know you, or is he just using you for sex?'
'Tell me you're mine, tell me you're mine, to break the ice'
-Tell me my suspicions aren't true. Just tell me you love me and want to be with me still, anything to just get rid of this awkward silence.
'Does he make you smile, Does he fully embrace the way ,Does he lead you to the fight, That you like, Who is this guy'
-Does he make you happy? Love you for who you are? (like I do) Do you guys have good sex? Just tell me who he is. Give me a name.
'This twee neophyte ,Does he know that I'll wait, for all time, Does he make you right'
-I'll wait for this to pass. I will wait for you. Does he complete you?
'Does he say that he'd like to know you, Does he say that he wants to know, All of the ways, You will make it up, Make it up for me'
-Does he tell you that he wants to get to know you better? Does he tell you he wants to know everything you'll do to me when you get home (sexually) to make this up to me? (this meaning her and her lover sleeping together)
'Tell me you're fine, Tell me it's hard to fake it time after time, Who is this guy'
-Are you okay? Was it hard faking this relationship with me, time after time, when you are sleeping with another man behind my back? Why won't you tell me who he is?
'Does he say that he'd like to know you, Does he say that he wants to know, All of the ways, You will make it up, Make it up for me'
-Doe he really want to get to know you? Does he want to you show/tell him how you are going to make this up to me?
'I know the way you will make it up, make it up for me'
-I know how you can make this up to me'
End scene.
And posted above you have, "Does he leave you in flames, that you like" and I am pretty sure the correct lyrics are "Does he lead you to the fight, that you like"
