Yeah, I agree with WhiteIron, they are certainly speaking of a pool in their garden, with very very cold water... but I also think they were arguing, splitting or something like that:
"there's not much
said that I don't know" (what you blamed me)
"you come right out and you ask me
nobody ever asks me" (maybe she feels excluded)
But one of them is taking responsibilities:
"it looks a lot worse than it seems but you know baby
that's just me
we can only hope that it might be me"
And waiting for the other one to settle:
"looking for a laugh wanna stop back when you're
done whining and taking things back"
And willing to be friends again:
"but if I was you just call my name call my name
and I'll be there if you call my name
you know I'll be there"
Though I see the freezing pool as an analogy to a sort of (self) punishment of isolation, I don't see the meaning of " it's not far to go it's not far at all"
