Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter

Song by Pearl Jam, don't get confused, it's from the album 'Lost Dogs', not Vitalogy.
Lyrics are:

Unsealed, On the porch a letter sat,
And she said, I wanna leave here again.
Once I saw her, on a beach of weathered sand,
And on the sand, I wanna leave here again.
And they called, and I said that I know what I said,
And I called out again.
And the reason, ought to leave her calm, I know,
I said, I dont know whether I'm the boxer or the bag.

Ah yeah, Can you see them? Out on their porch?
Yeah, But they don't wave.
I see them, round the front way, And I know and I know,
I dont wanna stay.
Make me cry.

I see.. Oh I dont know why there's something else.
Wanna drum it all away.
I said, I dont, i dont know whether I'm the boxer or the bag.

Ah hey, can you see them? Out on their porch?
Yeah, but they don't wave.
I see them, round the front way,
And i know and I know, I dont wanna stay, oh no..
I don't wanna stay.
I don't wanna stay.
I don't wanna stay, I don't.
Yeah.
Oh..

What is this songs meaning?

[JustWatchingOne]

@Looktowardsthesky "Although many fans have made their own interpretations of the song, a common theory has been that the song is about someone receiving a letter and finding his or her brother had died overseas in war" that's what i found.
