Love this song :). Dunno whether it's just coz I'm a scientist, but I reckon that the chorus uses a chemical reaction as a metaphor for a relationship:
"When we collide we come together;
If we don't we'll always be apart;
I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it,
So when you hit me, hit me hard."
In chemical reactions, the different atoms/molecules have to collide with enough force in order for the reaction to take place. So I guess he believes that the relationship is worth all the pain that comes with it, which he feels is inevitable, perhaps even necessary. & when he says "when you hit me, hit me hard", it's almost as if he's saying, 'Bring it on! Give me your best shot!' He's committed to staying in the relationship no matter how painful it gets.
