Cover art for Chopsticks lyrics by Liz Phair

I think the game jacks (being played by children) means that she is to young for him like they have nothing in common because she is so much younger. I also think that she had a one night stand with him and she wanted it to be more than that but he didn't. Like the verse "the light was gray Like it always is in paperbacks." Paper backs being romance novels and in her mind it was like a fairy tail at first.
