I think that this song really is subject to interpretation as are all lyrics so there despite what birdseed has said, I don't think there's such a thing as reading into it too much nor is there anything wrong with seeing the simplicity of the song.
I see that she is sort of taking up a male role with the sweater part but at the same time the song is predominantly made up of female roles which can be seen as how she's taking care of him as a woman would. Also I see the song sort of addresses insecurity as a person...being accepted for who you are. It's a sweet but actually not that probable, I would put this song down in the beginning phases of a relationship. If you are lucky enough to relate to this song throughout the whole of your relationship then thats fantastic.
It has such a gorgeous charm with such simple lyrics that really capture the essence of being accepted.
