I like what RichBOH has to say about the meaning being about a relationship ending and not understanding why etc. -- this is my favorite on the album as well. Love the line about the Midwestern Sky being from the Midwest! and no it's not always gray and cold, only in winter :P
To add to the discussion about the last line of the song concerning banana peels -- could it possibly be referring to something like a psychic reading of banana peels as one would have a palm reading or something? I can't seem to find anything online about banana peel readings but I feel like I have heard of readings of objects before, like the way eggshells break or dice fall etc. Maybe he ("the person in the song")had a just for fun psychic reading or something with the person that deserted him and it predicted the outcome or something. Maybe he didn't take it seriously and is just admitting now he knew it was doomed at that point?
Not saying that I know anything about or have ever had a psychic reading but I could see someone doing one for fun joking around and realizing they weren't happy for whatever reason if certain "results" were put out there.
