"I watched you throw out your bouquet
Now i think about you everyday"
---Might be about a rejected marraige proposal,which didn't jesse have?
Or simply an ex getting married,quickly. ---
"And at the bottom you'll find all our friends
They don't swim cause they're all dead
We never are what we intend, or invent
'Cause I make little lies and then I pull them apart
Think something dark's living down in my heart"
--Basically saying that his friends don't matter if he can't even trust the supposed love of his life,they might as well be dead to him,he's numb,the lies would be him hanging out with him and acting as though everything is fine---
"Well I carry this box to the proper place
And when I lower it down
I let it you fade away
I hope that you would do this for me
I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away"
--morning the death of a relationship..lowering it down..possibly meaning casket.
he's saying he hopes she would respect what that had enough to do the same.
As for feeding her drugs on a silver plate,he means if she was in this much pain (as he's in because of her) he'd do anything to take it away--
"A deer that a hunter shot in the heart
Some dogs that got hit by cars
All came to spill their guts
And we spoke
About the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
And which songs we had loved the most
And then we all turned to dirt
And dust
Some men die under the mountain just looking for gold
Some die looking for a hand to hold"
--perhaps saying that animals have more compassion and honesty then some humans,and die with grace and sincerity--
"I'm slowly bringing you down from the Heavenly gates
Now I'm drowning in the flood I made
Well explain myself to me on the other side
I'll watch from Heaven when I die"
I think this is implying his ex is going to hell "i'll watch from heaven when I die" he was nothing but honest,she wasnt so.

I'm thinking "slowly bringing you down" is more like realizing she is not perfect, not what he thought she was. or getting over her. but 'drowing in the flood' is like, he's pretty engulfed by his sadness, and the tears. and the mess.
and "explain myself to me on the other side," is like, when he's gone, she can talk and think about it, and reflect, because he'll be in heaven listening to her every word and that's probably the only way she will be honest, when she talks to him when he's dead.

About the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

here, i think he's talking about how they had so much in common, and their conversations were filled, yet their turned malicious and vile and then to nothing.
"and at the bottom you'll find all our friends

We never are what we intend, or invent"
I think here, its more like they are not friends with the friends they did have during the relationship because of the breakup. they're all dead could mean they don't mean anything anymore. the ties are dead.
and 'we are never what we intend' could mean that no matter how hard he hoped and wished for what he wanted them to be, as in perfect lovers/soulmates, it never turns out quite the way you want it to. nothing in life does.

Mostly because the writer could have chosen the words "my" friends instead of "our" friends. Which implies that he is talking about the friends he shared with the girl he was talking about in the paragraph above.

I like how you interpret this song... I had two conflicting ideas about it...one was his relationship (which is apparent in the beginning of the song) but the rest (to me) seems like he's just depressed...with life and not directly because of the relationship but that's just the feeling that I got

He did choose my. Jesse clearly says MY friends. butttttt....I agree completely. And yes the part about the deer hunter and the dog...is most likely saying like "well they didnt lie."
