I figured "No matter how many times I tell myself to breathe in, hold it, hold, now let it out" was referring more to a breathing exercise. He's worried about what he's doing, but he's trying to get himself to calm down and just go with the flow As for it not being who he is, I think it's the same line of thinking. He's just kind of going along with all of this because it's what his friends are doing, and it's helping him get over the relationship, so why not? But he's really not all that into it |

Yeah, definitely about pot, though it could really extend to anything fun, yet stupid to do. As far as the first verse, I'd say I think it's more about building yourself up and making progress only to ruin it by doing something that, while fun, isn't smart (in this case, buying and smoking pot). And knowing that every time you do that, you end up in a worse spot than you started (digging yourself out a hole). I think the second verse relates back to "I love your eyes, the way they look when you're uncomfortable", as in it's the same person (but different than the person in the chorus). She doesn't approve and the whole thing makes her uncomfortable. When she finds out what he did, she leaves to avoid a huge argument, hence the door "sounding" (slamming). People usually slam doors when they're leaving an argument to make a point about how they feel. |
