I could be wrong but I think it's a story about a girl named Claire and her parents take her out on her birthday but it's awkward and not much fun because they're divorced and don't seem to get along well. The singer is singing to Claire and wishes that (maybe) she was old enough to understand why things between her parents didn't work out. I really like the last verse because when there's a child involved with a couple divorced they are all that's left as some kind of proof of what used to be a happily married couple.
