I think those lines mean that she can't look after herself and lacks the judgement on whether it's going to rain or not, but only possesses the basic instinct of survival of knowing when it's cold.
This is further described in the chorus when Nick says: "Where did you go, when you...didn't know me. And you never wanted to figure me out." Meaning that he wonders how she survived by herself before she met him and he basically looked after her and to top it off, she had no interest in meeting someone to do...

So in short, a rich girl who doesn't know the responsibility of looking after herself who is selfish and left a 'boring' life with someone who loved her for a life of debauchery. He knows that she will struggle by herself and maybe resents her for leaving him (just a little bit), but he loves and cares for her too much to let go of her and hence, he'll "wait all his life" for her.
I hope this explains what you're trying to find out :)
Like I said, this is a great song and I love the band!
Can't wait for their new album next year.
"She never knows when it's raining, she only knows when it's cold." What do those lyrics mean?
