this song is absoloutly awesome i just dont get bored of it. i understand it all...almost. i get its all about how love isnt like happy endings and mushy movie scenes, it can be a pain and doesnt always turn out well. the only part i dont understand is about Carrots help us see much better in the dark whats the hell is that about? and is the head and spout not refering to the nursery rhyme...'im a little teapot short and spout heres my handle heres my spout'? lol?
(By the way, sorry if this is confusing, but it makes sense in my own head)

My interpretation of the 'carrots help you see much better in the dark' line is that doing things that are good for you give you a clearer view, in a way. In this story, the good thing is him falling in love and the clearer view is that love is shit. To be blunt.
Love is put across as such a wonderful thing which makes people happy and is essential to be good as a human being, but as my interpretation shows, finding love, the ultimate goodness, opens your eyes to how bad the best thing in the world really is.
I'd say the head and spout thing is basically his brain (head) and his heart (spout) disagreeing with each other. 'They work together; they can't figure anything out', working together is the act of falling in love and not being able to figure things out is that they both want to go in different directions and think different things of the situation. Basically I think they just wanted to put that slightly cliched emotion into the song without it sounding too repetitive.
