Maverick 01 and becky3306 are pretty right on.

Squeaking like a mouse = He launched himself out of the swing (or stepped off) and now it's swinging empty. Cannot kiss you with = The clouds may kiss you, but I don't/They can't kiss you like I do. I think this also symbolizes the clouds as the kisses of ideal men she dreams of, but they can't give her a real kiss like he can. How dare you go? Cold in the rain = Pretty simply, How dare you leave me out cold in the rain? That she was the caretaker to his enslaved heart, and now she's gone, and she may have been unworthy of it in the first place.

I'm not sure about the cars part. I think JeanneMe might be right about that, and quite a bit more.
