This song was inspired by the movie 'True Romance' and if you have seen the movie you can see where certain lines in this song were obviously written for specific quotes in the film. For example, the line 'you look so cool' was much like the line in the movie where one of the main characters named Alabama tells her husband Clarence that he's 'so cool' and she even writes on a napkin 'You're so cool!' plus one of the lines in the movie is 'You're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool'. Many people seem to think that this song represents a painful love whereas really, the song is about two people that have fell deeply in love with each other and are practically partners in crime. 'We'll give you one more fight' implies that the two of them won't let the other fight alone and they put up a fight together as they have each others backs.
'Now everybody's dead' in the movie, there's a room full of people including the police ('it's much harder now the police have come') and everyone ends up getting shot and dies apart from three people, the couple being two of the three. However, the husband gets shot but doesn't die-in the music video, Matty gets shot but it never shows him dying.
I think people look too deep when really, the lyrics are what they are, there's guns, people are dying and nothing went to plan. Their love isn't painful or difficult, they're actually crazily in love and stick together through every trouble that comes along the way.
I suggest watching the movie True Romance as it does truly give you a better understanding of the lyrics and it's a great film. :)
