This is about relationship, of course. It's an unstable, they don't know is this serious or no. The guy is probably afraid of attachment (If I try to get close, he's already gone). They are a bit offbeat with each other (While I powder my nose, he will powder his gums) and maybe leading a destructive lifestyle (the powder - drugs).

The girl wants the guy to open up and hints that otherwise they'll end up as a disaster (oh this is suicide). The guy continues and doesn't see a problem here (you can't see the ropes)

"They've got nothing to say" - they don't know if they should express love to each other or talk about avoiding attachment. But "Just the beating of hearts..." hints that they feel as if they might be soulmates.

They don't want to tell to their folks, because they don't know what will happen in the future and their scared of making a commitment. The girl is asking if they will stay for another day, but is also hinting that she could love him forever.

They both seem to be in a fragile state so for now they keep together to be stronger until they solve some problems and are brave enough to make some plans.
