I love this, cause I think it's a confession. The line "How could I be more obvious?" seems to make sense in the first chorus. You're think, "Yeah, dude, she's made it clear." And then the next verse shows her explicit using of the subject of the song, followed with the repetition of the line "How could I be more obvious?" and there's the twist. It's said tongue-in-cheek. The singer knows what she's doing is awful.
Especially because it's place just after "Back to the Start" on the album, I think both songs work as a recognition of the ways that the singer can and has hurt people in the past. It's these two songs that make me really adore the album. It's not just a bunch of twee pop songs about love with a couple "Fuck the establishment" songs to show her relevance...there's a lot of real self-reflection.
