I think this is a song about the singer being dumped because the girl wants to go and explore instead of settling down so he's telling her that when the 'lights' (the excitement of everything she wants to see) are 'out' and 'words' (the words the boys she meet will compliment her) have 'gone' and she's done, he wants to be the one to 'try it on' as in try her on again, asking her to try settling down.
Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
but the town has always turned
these lies and make them all burn
This is him telling her to save her apologies that she tries to make when word gets to her about how heartbroken he is. He blames the thrills of the town that excite her for tearing them apart and calls all the rumours about the city being fun the lies that are burning him.
Can you feel the leeches bite
That boy did she took out tonight
He's brave and walking sure
through all the spots you're working for
'Can you feel the leeches bite' is an amazing line. The leeches are the people and he's feeling them 'bite' by the sort of things they are saying, the rumours they are telling him about her and it's painful. 'He's brave and walking sure through all the spots you're working for' This is him saying this boy she's with tonight is perfect for all the things she's trying and wants to be and the boy knows it. He's ticking all the boxes of what this new her wants.
