"I could make a button out of plaster that said "finished." I could nail it in my closet to the left side of the lightswitch. I could go out to a restaurant and try drinking to forget it, and then come home less afraid and then press it and press it. . ."
I think these lyrics are particularly significant. The button is a metaphor for something that the narrator is afraid to do. That something would be an ending, but also the beginning of something else which could possibly be much better for the narrator.
