The narrator is a guy with low self esteem, he sees/kind-of-knows a woman. He may only know her from social media/Facebook, yet he is intrigued anyway. She is his "crush".
His self-esteem is so low that he never bothers speaking to her, because he figures she will never like him.
The laundry list of her "likes" fits in beautifully with Facebook.
The following can be gleaned from Facebook:
Bollywood, snow machines, daguerreotypes, Beauty contests, Terminator II, and William Tell, Woody Harrelson, and Nirvana
The following can be gleaned from observation/interaction:
cigarettes, swimming laps, potato chips, cruise control, booster rockets, cutting with a fork, the morning, William Tell, shadow puppets, Reading in the bath, baseball caps.
It's a weird, beautiful song, and this is why I'm a Super Fan of TMBG. So beautiful.
My take on this song:
