agent_apathy: i agree. i also think the main character (assumedly matt) was just looking for fun that night, but he seems to think the girl in bed might have wanted something more...though he's not interested. "don't hold your breath you shouldn't wait/there's no one here for you to save"
last, i think matt looks ahead- he knows that eventually he'll settle down into something that'll make him happy long-term (symbolized by spring, which he knows "will return again") and that's what leaves the song feeling positive in the wake of this dark time (tangibly, the awkward morning-after)
