Anyone have any idea what this song means?

Obviously it's about a broken relationship and the end also foreshadows what the rest of the CD will talk about (Nate), but what do the lines "red wax, it paints me unclear" and "I placed you on a window sill/Cut notches up and down the door?"

I haven't a clue about the first one and I know the first part of the second one is about placing a girl on a pedestal...but cut notches up and down the door? Like notches on his bed post or notches on your belt? Made it's for the times she's left and come back?

Anyone else have any ideas?
