Cake – She'll Hang the Baskets Lyrics 16 years ago
I think this song is just about a typical relationship gone wrong.
"She'll hang the baskets on the walls" represents her putting work into the relationship, the baskets falling represents all the work falling apart. The part about seeing it all before confirms the fact that this is something that has happened many times before. The change in seasons represents time going by.
Another interesting thing is the Turtle wax. The song puts so much emphasis on what the girl does, but has 1 line about the guy putting work into their relationship.

So my take is that this song is about a relationship that deteriorates over time. The guy loses interest as the girl does as much as she can to keep the relationship together, but in the end the work she puts in is for nothing (baskets on the floor)
