okay...i get the whole relationship on the rocks thing. but i seriously think that this song is about a rocky alcohol addiction. "Hot as hell cold as ice sip it slow cause it’s so nice
Dulls my senses drives my pain but I do it again
Burns a bit to the touch dangerous if it’s too much
If this bottle could talk
Love on the rocks". i mean come on...it makes sense. after i heard this part, i listened to the whole song over again and the alcohol thing makes sense.
Sara Bareilles is known for clever word play. She's simply comparing the rocky relationship (two kids doing the run around, as killstar put it) to a rocky alcohol addicton. The lyrics are great and fun to sing. I agree with shikonaori. Its one of the best songs on the album(next to Gravity)

No. This song is not at all about alcohol addiction. It's a metaphor. C'mon.

"Hot as hell, cold as ice...", to me means that the relationship is always going to one or the other extreme.

"Sip it slow 'cause its so nice, dulls my senses drives my pain but I do it again", it feels good because it impairs her senses, like alcohol, but it also brings her pain; and she can't help but keep running back.

"Burns a bit to the touch, dangerous if it's too much...", means maybe like when you touch something, it burns you, so you wait a little while for it to cool down, but this one (the relationship) doesn't stop burning. The further they go, the more treacherous it becomes.
"If this bottle could talk, Love on the rocks.", means if this relationship could literally speak, it would say, "This just isn't going to work out".

anyway, just my 2 cents =)
I doubt it's about alcohol. It's more than likely a metaphor about her addiction to the type of love she's/ was involved in.
