This song is so powerful and so unique.
I especially like it because, in my interpretation, it is NOT about a romantic relationship. It is about a young girl's complicated relationship with a father figure type person who is both good and bad. He is good because he takes her up in a hot air balloon - treats her. And he is bad because he drinks (his car smells like beer) and he has a questionable female friend who pretends to be her mother - implies lots of relationships with women, etc..
The girl and 'Wayne' this father figure person, are on a car trip and the car crashes. Wayne dies and the young girl survives and now she must figure out what to do to save herself.
The song is about reliving this experience and her complicated relationship with this man in life and through death.
I get really annoyed when people put a sexual connotation to absolutely every thing in music videos.
To me the song is far from being about that, and it is just as powerful of a song....
