This song just always reminded me of a situation where you're falling in love with your best friend. This case in particular seems like he's falling in love with his roommate. The jealousy and saying that no one is good enough for the person, and, the ending itself speaks to how such closeness always "ends with a fall." In others words, he can't help falling in love with her, even though he knows he shouldn't.
The song spoke to me so much, and I can't help but cry so many times I listen to it. It's one of my favorite Okkervil River songs
