I think this entire song is about a guy who is now alone and wishes he had taken advantage of a perfect opportunity to fall in love and get the girl he loved and admired. However she wasn't ready at the time. She wanted to play games of chase but he wanted to play house and perhaps get a chance to kiss her. Like basketball means he likes basketball and would intentionally foul her so he could be next to her but all he was allowed was 5 fouls. She knew the game so well that he couldn't even cheat and get more times to be close to her.The tin soldiers are even laughing at her because she just couldn't catch on. He didn't want to take the noon knap because he wanted to be with her, but their parents made them knap. I'll write more tomorrow.
