There is a ton of plant metaphors/symbols. Being a tulip in a cup, she is a flower blooming for the one she loves, but is confined in the small space (just like a cup) of her love for them. She can't seem to move on and free herself--she is too deeply attached to this person and is too used to wanting their affections. It's why she can't "grow up"--because her love for that person is what keeps her in a cup much too small for her to thrive. "I root for you" could be taken as cheering someone on from the sidelines, but "root" could also mean plant roots! Like she is still growing only because of the one she loves. They are her only life's purpose. Also!! might be a stretch, but "still life drawing of a peach" might refer to the Ancient Roman painting "still life with peaches and water jar," which is a fresco depicting 5 unripe peaches. It's like she wants to "ripen" and move on or confront her emotions in some way (maybe by making her feelings known), but cannot--she is a still life--stagnant and unable to move, like a deer in the headlights of her desire.
I think it's about a girl who has been in love with someone for a long time, but that person doesn't notice it. She can't tell them because she's too afraid to and doesn't think they feel the same ("pantomime" because she is trying to show them she loves them, but is too shy to do it forwardly). So she traps herself in her love, loving them from a distance, endlessly. She's loved this person for such a long time she does not know how to unlove them (I stand no chance of growing up) and feels stuck as a tiny thing that can't move on.
