Right this is probably kinda far out but bear with me - everyone's saying they like how literal her lyrics are and this goes against it so i'm probably wrong!
I think perhaps she's cheating on her boyfriend/husband/whatever and he's rammed the car off the road when he's found out...
I'll try to explain - i thought the lines "who's gonna cancel my date" (repeated) and "you forgot how to brake" were kind of odd.
If you take "date" in the sense of man meets woman to go out - i wouldn't have thought you'd refer to a long term couple going on one of these dates, and even if you would, if your dating partner was lying dead next to you i doubt you'd think "i need to cancel"? Perhaps she had already arranged to meet another man?
Then the line "you forgot how to brake" is suspect in that it doesn't say "you swerved" or "skidded" it says "you forgot" as though he should have been braking and it was obvious he should be doing so, but for whatever reason chose not to.
As i say, probably too overly analytical - but it was the only explanation i could come up with to satisfy my stupid theories...
