I think it's about a girl who goes after commitment and of a true relationship and the narrator is begging her to give their relationship a try.
"Baby wants a new spin
Baby wants a broken heart
Here you found a lynchpin to keep it all from falling apart
But you keep on rollin', you keep on rollin’."
She says she wants love but she doesn't. She pushes guys away when she gets close, making her unhappy and heartbroken. Still, even after a breakup, she still does it again.
"Better find a way, better kick it from you big brown eyes
Here it tightens up when you fall on the fifteenth try
Like a ship at ocean, Like a ship ocean
Like a ship at ocean, like a ship at sea."
He's telling her to get rid of this fear. He's been trying to have patience for her but it's been really affecting their relationship and he's losing patience with her.
"Stick thick and you cross your heart, but the clover’s all a'drag
From keeping shotgun shy, all arise, and just be mine tonight
So the dollar shop is shut and they knocked you down."
She promises she'll be better but she isn't and the relationship is worn out from all of her antics. He's telling her to abandon her fears because he can't keep going on like this. "The dollar shop" is his patience and understanding for her fears; he's getting sick of it.
"Better call the coppers if you need someone to push you around
But you keep on stealin’, you keep on stealin’,
You keep on steal, there’s nothing left to steal."
He's telling her to get someone else if she's going to be like this because he can't keep doing this anymore. She keeps taking and taking and now he has nothing else to give her.
"Stick thick and you cross your heart, but the clover’s all a’drag
From keeping shotgun shy, all arise, and just be mine tonight.
Just be mine tonight
Just be mine tonight."
This is his last appeal for her to change. Just my interpretation.
