I don't think it's necessarily platonic. maybe there are slight feelings but they both don't want to act on them because it'll get "messy." which is what's sort of shitty about modern relationships - this big fear of labels and absolutes. and maybe it's positive, because these two characters are obviously very happy with what they're doing. but because she sings "you don't wanna be my boyfriend and I don't wanna be your girl" I'm guessing it's been brought up (or she's at least thinking about it), and feeling unsure. hell, she says "it's unclear now what we intend" in the first line.
but the title means the most, I think. "our guards will give way and we'll be good" is a just sort of: okay, things are not well defined, doesn't really matter, we're just happy with this right now. or does it mean they're not currently good, and once they've given in to those creepy, intimate feelings, THEN they'll be good? either way, the simplicity of "be good" in line with the happy, quickly strumming guitar is enough to say that everything is at least All Right.
