I actually think that this song is about a guy who is in love with his best friend but he knows that she isn't in love with him and is probably with someone else
"Would you ever dance with me like that?"
I think that he also knows that the guy that she is with is cheating on her (and maybe has before)
"He's patronized another
But I think it's serious this time."
he knows that telling her would only mess up their friendship.
"I don't want you fading, acting like you hate me."
And even though he knows this he still wants to tell her that he wants her
"Fuck all the rest and forget the rules
Like all the girls and boys in my school
Questions for questions, I've got a question
Would you ever dance with me like that?"
But he doesn't want to hurt her so he just decides to pretend like he doesn't know and like he doesn't want to be with her in the end.
"I said to this end
Don't hurt your best friend
Keep playing along again"
That may be a stretch but thats what I've always gotten when I've listened to this song. Whatever it's about it's got a great beat and is one of my favorite songs by Neon Trees. :)
