Some comment below said this song was sexual and I somewhat agree: Kurt may have a juvenile repudiation for dusting and cleaning and loathes his condition as the subject of Tracy's maternal instincts (that he absolutely CRAVES at the same time) but in the end there is the anticipation of every young man that his girlfriend -a woman- might come home soon (he's excited!) so he cleans the house in order not to cause her upset or discomfort. He likes women's eyes and wonders that he might not be polluting them with his presence. So he cleans. For her. He may have a now-famous juvenile repudiation for greens but under the influence of this female companion he ultimately obliges. He protests all these things like a boy but also learns it is beneficial to him and consolidates her female attention ("I must be getting older"). The vocal harmonies are not sung with angst but with rising anticipation and the words "She comes" are elongated and suspended. Something good is coming up, after all, and that is gets excited for. She allows him to create, so he created a clean space for her, unlike their dusty town. That's what I think.
