I think that this song covers a lot o situations, metaphorically. I don't really feel the need to comment on it, because it's just my favorite Elliott Smith song (period). But at the same time, I feel like I should say something because of that.
And I agree with what most people said; it's a view of life from the optimistic yet sober guy, who just tries to do what he thinks is right and knows that the futility of the effort sometimes may even make it stupid.
-Like a boyfriend (or ex) who's too emotional, or a Jehovah's witness (getting rejected at every door), maybe. ^_^
