To me, this song is about believing that if you do everything right, the person you love will love you back. Silly things, like pulling the petals off flowers, and not stepping on the cracks in the pavement.

From the title, I would think this song would be about a family member, but there's also the line:

"If I get home before the rain, you’re mine But I won’t bet"

So I think that it's about how her daily life is affected by stupid little things, but she can't bring herself to change them.
