Is this song meant to be cynical? What I mean is, do you think the narrator is bitter when he say "in spite of me"? Obviously, thats what it seems like, but the music is so wistful and melancholy... when I first heard it I didn't pick up on the bitterness because the song is so beautiful. In any case, I guess its about an ex that he wants back, but hes bitter because shes moved on and he can't yet.
