Neon Trees - Everybody Talks Lyrics Meaning

I get from this that the high school guy is really in love with the high school girl ("Hey baby won't you look my way/I can be your new addiction"). But she doesn't reciprocate and the narrator is upset("I'm a sorry sucker and this happens all the time").
But then he hears gossip that she likes him back and he kisses her ("It started with a whisper/and that was when I kissed her"). She kisses him back and gives the impression that the gossip was right ("And then she made my lips hurt").
He begins to like her even more ("Hey honey you could be my drug"). However, people are gossiping because the two are an unusual couple ("All this trash talk make me itchin'").
But in the end she was leading him on, and couldn't overcome what people were saying about them in order to have a relationship ("Never thought I'd live/ to see the day/ when everybody's words got in the way")
In summation, people's gossip pushed him to go after her, but it also kept them apart. The narrator is expressing his frustration with people's gossip.

At least this is what I took away, as I've been the girl in this exact same situation. Yeah, I know, I suck. :P
