The first verse sounds like a recollection of someone old you know, and something you always think about when you think about that person. Like what flavor Jell-o they like, or what they always had at their birthday 'party'.
The 'shit I said...' line seems to be some form of embarrassment of saying something that you know that the above person would not approve of. Whether it be your tone, your language or what you're actually asking for.
The rest of the first verse seems to be coming to grips with the death of someone you vaguely know but feel close to. I've done the whole 'waiting in the upstairs hallway at church to carry someone out to the hearse' thing, and it can leave you distraught, but you have to do it. Like, that casket is not making it down the church steps if you don't do it.
Second verse seems to be about being (or not) comfortable in your own skin. The 'intern' part seems to imply that either it's just a temporary feeling or that you're not paid to deal with how you feel, you just cope.
Third verse, I got nothing. It's funny though.
The last little part just seems to be an earlier, younger incarnation of the hotel managers line.
