The lyrics seem to be about seeking out an old flame, and finding out that she's in an abusive relationship.
When her boyfriend shows up, he can't control his rage and gets in a fight.
@kevinweeks I like that interpretation. To add depth: I see you're fixin a shine, ie black eye. I see something's awry, somethings wrong with the relationship. I see you're weak, you don't feel well. I would add that it might be an old friend not an ex, although I think the ex works better.
