After listening to this song on repeat for a few days, and falling in absolute LOVE with the lyrics and melody, I personally draw my own conclusion as to what it means. I think it's about someone calling someone who is now with another person. The person their with, answering the phone, and going off on the guy. I believe he was calling for closure, "I can't drink this coffee, till I put you in my closet" and doesn't want to hang up without that "Let him shoot me down, and let him call me off," the lover obviously not being civil about it. Anyway, that's just my interpretation. Beautiful song despite what you get out of it.
