The Killers songs are so good because they usually depict a person's internal struggles.
This song is about a guy that is going through a breakup and his group of friends are trying to get him to get over her.
You can tell as the song goes on, the singer goes through from almost accepting the breakup ("I try to tell myself that I'm better off alone") and listening to his friends to having an internal struggle and saying that "Maybe all of my friends should confront the fact that I don't want another girl". Then towards the end of the song, he breaks down and says "...Then why can't I sleep at night..." and he's left with just heartbreak and his friends' words in his mind.
You can tell its already a breakup because in the middle of the song he says "I can't believe you're out there flying with somebody else". You can tell he's heartbroken because he mentions he "drive[s] by [her] house [and] nobody's home".
