I actually had a really different take on this song, whether I am right or wrong. But in the first verse I can see he meets this girl and would give her anything. She must be the hottest girl alive because everyone looks at her and wants to go home with her. In the second verse I guess that they have broken up, he has been having no luck with anyone else because he can't get over this one girl. So he moves on to L.A. This girl must be meeting other guys and he is thinking that none of them will work out because obviously he is the one, whether she believes that or not is a different story. Once again, she is a super attractive chick and everyone wants to go home with her. It then gets a little creepy. He is totally obsessed with this woman and can't/won't get over her. She must force herself to be with him because he is convinced they must be together. He will give her anything she wants in order for his wish to happen. And then blah blah, the ending, everyone wants her.
I don't know if it's just me, but this is how I interpreted the song.
To add on to my earlier statement, he says "unrequited" which means that she DOES NOT feel the same way she does. He coaxing her with all these gifts and even tempts her with a diamond ring just so she could be his. She's almost like a prize to be won by the narrator. I love the song, it's so catchy and I think it's a lot darker than most people realize. Which makes it even better, in my opinion.
