It's about being into someone who doesn't feel the same, he knows he is making himself look an idiot chasing her; "Drop a heart, break a name" (and the moose ears in the music video) ,and he hates himself for it,"take back what you said, take aim at myself"
And it's all told from an over-emotional, teenage point of view!:
"we're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team"
"i'm watching you two from the closet"
I think these two lines are deliberately written to provoke idea's that perhaps the song is about a gay love interest but they can actually just be taken to mean choosing to sleep with the wrong people; "sleeping for the wrong team" and being secretly jealous as in the expression "skeletons in the closet".
"lie in the grass next to the mausoleum"- well, laying next to loads of dead bodies to ponder how sad it is you're not liked as much back is pretty "emo"!
"that's just who i am this week"- i think this refers to the fickle nature of young people and their ever changing emotions
"a loaded god complex, cock it and pull it"
lots of people say this is a suicidal reference and i guess that would correspond with my interpretation too.
To me, the song meaning is pretty simple:
