This is probably my favorite song on the album AND probably the only song by Brandon or The Killers that I can find a very obvious meaning for.
I see it, basically, as a man being cheated on.
"See, I've been loving you blind." He's been loving his wife without really seeing what's going on.
"Caught up in the middle of a worn out dream." Their marriage is getting tiresome.
"I knew we were in trouble, But baby I almost screamed when I saw you dancing..." He catches her cheating on him with another man.
"Why did you roll your dice? Show your cards?" Why would she gamble what they have together?
"Jilted lovers and broken hearts." Obvious.
"You're gonna wish you could go back and fold." She's going to wish she could go back before she gambled with their relationship.
I agree with everything you said. I feel that this is one of the easier songs to actually understand since he is more straightforward with they lyrics. I always wondered why he said "on the moon now" and after reading your post it's pretty obvious that he means she is just far away from him now.

Etc, etc...The rest is easy to figure out.
