It's kinda far fetched, but I believe Bastille's version creates a story. This song takes place after a guy has been rejected from a girl because he was poor and had nothing.
When Bastille is singing, it's him recalling what she said to his friends, and when Ella was singing, it's her recalling what she said to her friends.
Quotes from psycho also reinforce what's going on. "I was born in mine; I don't mind it anymore." It's almost like saying I was born in a life of poverty.
I don't believe the man in the story means to be arrogant, maybe he has nothing to offer but still wants her.
