The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot

Possible Meaning 1:

The song being "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot" is meaning he saved himself from a heartbreak (being shot in the chest). He got out of the relationship to save himself. not her. I think he feels guilty in a sarcastic way. because of the line "So call it quits or get a grip" and "I sneak to your bed to pour salt on your wounds".

Possible Meaning 2:
Jesse Lacey wrote this as an apology to a girl he dumped for no reason: "If it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again, and you can tell me how vile I already know that I am."

Possible Meaning 3:
Its about a boy who blocked his own shot in basketball,and his dad would make fun of him for it because of the way that he held the ball. He was reminising on the past when her wrote this song. and also about the guilt of getting out of a relationship with a girlfriend before she could, so he couldn't be the one to get hurt.
