A love song. I think this is about a man in love, perhaps for the first time.
He's awkward and desperately wants approval from the person he's in love with (to give him a 'blue ribbon'). He also sees her as his sanctuary from the world, all he wants to do is go home and be with her and make her laugh.
He's afraid he's going to blow it - "God I'm very, very frightening, I'll overdo it" - because he wants to impress her SO much, and can't think of anything else, and can't find peace in normal social situations.
"Can I get a minute of not being nervous
And not thinking of my dick?"
And
"You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
From one side of it to the other"
And she (I'm just assuming it's a she) is perhaps the love of his life, the one he always dreamed to find. And it scares him.
You know I dreamed about you
For twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for, for twenty-nine years
I love reading about everyone's interpretations...so interesting!

I got a much more tragic image in my head when I heard this song for the first time...maybe it's the ex ER worker in me.

I think he is at his lover's funeral....."standing at the punch table, swallowing punch
Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone A little more stupid, a little more scared
Every minute, more unprepared".

Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone A little more stupid, a little more scared
Every minute, more unprepared".
I think he feels he is to blame for his lover's death...the "drawers" could symbolize a coffin.
"I made a mistake today
Everything I love gets lost in the drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
Way out of sync from the beginning
I wanna hurry home to you"
I think he may have crashed a car with his lover, maybe he was showing off by speeding to impress, but sadly it ended in tragedy. Now he longs for a "slow show", and regrets thinking with his "dick".
He is injured from the car crash too...."My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in". He must have sustained some leg trauma from the crash, and has pins in his bones.
