I think this song is about being in a relationship with someone generally unbearable to most, and even unbearable to the singer in the beginning. The person is only looking for love. The singer begins to see all the other person's faults as endearing.
It's a "stranger's nightmare" but it's his dream, and he doesn't want to change, even if they're both going down. "We're going to flood this house."
@wooptyfriggindoo I interpreted this a very similar way. In the relationship, it is only a nightmare to the stranger, and in a way, could speak of their hypocritical actions. To them, they despise and fear a clingy relationship, yet that is what they are in the relationship. But their faults are seen and understood, empathized for, and like you phrased it, they "are both going down" in their endeavor of love. <-- yes I said endeavor of love, possible rephrasing anyone?
