Verse 1:
This first verse is quite straight forward, were it not for "the taste of crow" that Courtney pointed out, is that she's admitting she made a mistake. (thanks!) And the line about "throwing gasoline at a fire", if you didn't know it, gasoline is highly ignitable and catches fire easily. So he's provoced her for a space of time, and that something he's recently done "pushed her over the edge". We also get to know that she was warned about his temper, and that when he does something wrong - as he obviously do regularly - he acts innocent or begs forgiveness.
Chourus:
The first three lines are perhaps a bit difficult to understand at first, but in the fourth line she says "it just comes way too natural to you". Then we can see that she is comparing him to the other things in their "natural" environments, something that is comfortable there. She uses the word "lie" in two ways: to lie down, and to speak the opposite of truth. The chourus points out how comfortable this guy is when he's lying.
Verse 2:
In the secound verse it is pointed out what it is that probably was the thing to finally make her snap. She smelled an other womans perfume on him, and is betting that she was very young, still living with her parents when she says "i bet she had a curfew". He said he was out with his friends, when he in reality was cheating on her with a teenager. Then the storyteller starts talking about revenge, and that the world would be a better place without him in it.
Verse 3:
Here she says very straight forward what she is doing, ending the relationship by throwing his ring in the river, watching it sink. I think the ring might be symblolic for him,and that the river is her mind. It's muddy, so her deep subcontious. She pushes him into the back of her mind, and is never going to think about him again - "there it's gonna lie until the Lord comes back around." - he's gonna lay there forever.
Well, that's mine interpretation. What do you think? :)
Clearly NOT what this innocent song is about, and YES; the world WOULD be a better place without him (i.e. sexual predators) in it!!! Kinda makes one wish to bring back "death by stoning" because I can assure you, I would happily spend all the rest of my days in prison for eleminating anyone who would violate/abuse/etc my own daughter...I'm sure there are many parents who would agree!
