Love this song. Love the opening line:
"In a town where you can sum up every girl with just one sentence - give or take the subject or the verb."
The generic sentence structure is "Subject Verb Object", so if you give/take the subject or the verb, you can be left with just an "Object" - i.e. he's saying that Californian (probably L.A. specifically) girls are mostly just objects.
I love the "tether-ball" imagery he uses to describe his tongue-tiedness as well as the "needle and spoon" simile to describe her purpose and manner as she comes to seduce him, comparing it to a drug user shooting up (Heroin, specifically).
