I see this song in the following way.. A shy guy, saw a beautiful girl on the dancefloor (or a crowded place) and he would love for her to only notice him so that they can strike up a conversation, but he is shy, so needs her to make the first move. "Crossing my fingers"
She is provoking him, but she's much more confident than he is. She lets him know that she can get any one of the other guys "Eyes keep shifting to the boys that don't matter" He still has his fingers crossed.
He will do anything to get the chance with her "I'd take one in the temple" Very strong words... Maybe a gunshot to the side of the head.
