Supposedly Tom Marshall wrote this song about his friend, who had just become married. His friend received a knife as a wedding present.

The song seems to be about the comparison between pre- and post-wedlock life for Tom's friend. The second half appears to describe the friend's anxiety at fully realizing his current situation.
