I\'ve always loved the song, and I think the lyrics paint a pretty telling picture of a relationship. It was a relationship between two people that couldn\'t live up to it\'s original \'bang\'. Starting with this line: \n\nBut I remember football in the snow\nEverybody\'s gone home\n\nFootball is a sport where the games are much entertainment as they are competition. The football season overlaps into winter, but I think that line shows that what once was a big and exciting show, is now over. Winter is also a pretty big association with the death of something, like the death of a relationship. \'Everyone going home\' can also be interpreted as someone showing love in public, but withholding affection in private.\n\nI think the football reference also alludes to the age of this relationship. I personally interpreted it as a relationship between two young people. With the line: \n\nBut you say I don\'t know how to love\nI simply don\'t understand my life\n\nI felt like the singer is still navigating who they are, and how that confusion is affecting their relationship. Lastly, the repeated line, especially with the higher pitch near the end, reminded me of two things: whining and nagging. Both give a sense of immaturity and childish-ness.
