Jimmy Eat World - Night Drive Song Meanings

Lyrics:
Lay back baby and we'll do this right
There's blankets in back we can use
I'll start the car, but we'll stay in park
The cold can kill us ...

I believe that this song is about cheating. "Got something to say what I can't Do you feel bad, like I feel bad?" They both feel bad because they know that they shouldn't be together because she has a someone else. And when he says "It'd be easy if you get mad, with three fingers pointed back at you" Ya the guy is at fault for being the "other man" but she is just as much to blame because she is the one that's cheating.
I don't know for sure but that's just what I get from this song

this is about the ultimate sacrifice from a loved one. the gut is going to overdose on an injectable drug prefferably heroin. he is killing himself so that she will quit in the event of his death so that she may live on. the man see it as her only way out. he is doing it for the production of her future. he will leave her with the love they made

It's about a guy taking advantage of a girl. The subject of struggle come up many time throughout the song

"Kiss me with your cherry lipstick/ Never wash you off my face/ Hit me I can take your cheap shot/ Leave you with the love we made" "Your lips go dry, but there's sweet inside" "There's no way out this fade out/ Be Happy to Get what you do/ Make him notice with both fists"
"Give me everything you've got now/ I don't feel a single thing/ Drag me out into the cold rain/ Let it hover over me"

so the whole time she's trying to fight her way out of the situation but he keeps over-powering her until she just gives up and lets him do what he likes.

in short, it's a song about rape.
