It's about a guy talking about his relationship with a girl. I'm guessing they've been going out on and off and she's finally getting tired of him.

He realizes that he's taken her for granted - her smile, her randomisity, etc. ("a whole new of looking at things, the way you react to phone rings...")

the way I see it, this girl is fed up with this guy and he finally realizes that it's time to leave the relationship.

He shows her that he's sorry and that he knows that he's been taking her for granted. She's probably warned him in the beginning hence the name "first straw".

And now he's saying that there's no reason for getting to the last straw because he's going to change.
