Have you ever gone stag to a dance and seen an incredibly attractive person across the dance floor that catches your attention and then infatuates your mind? That's what "To Die For" is about - a boy that sees an attractive girl he really likes at a dance. But he doesn't just see her and lust for her - there's a connection: "So do we dare to take this dance, coz I'm willing to take the chance." It's obvious that the boy feels something for her (i.e. "heart-shaped box waiting to be filled") but she is still unsure. As these sorts of things seem to naturally pan out, she leaves him wanting more, begging and praying for her attention. Unfortunately, she gets too focused on dancing to recognize his feelings for her. The fact that she is "dressed to kill" implies that she is so incredibly attractive that more than one guy has become infatuated with her and all of them are left wanting more (she kills their desires). And the phrase that he is "to die for" suggests that he is a great guy - handsome, well-mannered personality, and just an all around decent guy. But although she has left many other guys wanting, this time it could be different: "Tonight could be the night baby, just take my hand, I swear we'll make it right." This time, maybe she feels something too.
