this song seems to be about a break-up, I think. or, at least, moving out.
"I've got this notion that moving out is better
Than this commotion; If she complains I won't let her
Tell me what to do
And if she wants to argue
I'll remind her that we're through"
he's saying: 'ive got to move out 'cos this sucks, and if she tries to persuade me otherwise remind her that we've broken up!'
"And all these brown boxes
Haven't helped me move one bit
In half-empty rooms they sit
Stay, that's where they will stay
I could never say
I would never say:
'This is over'"
'I've got all these unpacked boxes, but I don't wanna go anywhere! it's hard breaking up.:('
"I've got this Cupid Hummel from (?)Wool-N-Sackit(?)
It's pretty stupid, but nonetheless I'll pack it"
'I can't leave it for her!'
"And this box-cutter's too dull
Otherwise I'd end it all"
'If this box-cutter was sharp enough, I'd kill myself and end it all.'
"And stay, that's where they will stay
I could never place any other blame
And how could you even go on living if it's so unintentional?
I'd like to know"
'those boxes aren't moving; I can't blame anyone but myself; how can one go on living after a travesty such as this? That's what I'd like to know.'

That's my theory. :)
