Um, this song is about someone's daughter leaving for college.
"I painted your room at midnight,
So I'd know yesterday was over.
I put all your books on the top shelf,
Even the one with the four-leaf clover.
Man I'm getting older."
His daughter left, he changed her room into a different one to forget about her.
The four-leaf clover book was her favorite book as a child.
He's getting older because his daughter is and moved out.
And the second verse is about a song she used to sing as a child.
Nothing about romance..

if this song was about a child leaving for college why would he wrap up the pictures and put them away? Why would he want to forget about his daughter who only went off to college? This song is pretty straightforward with its meaning about a loved one who died at a young age hence the symbolism behind the crow (symbolizing death) and the butterfly (symbolizing innocence)
