I love this song, thought it took a bit of time for me to get into it, but it's great, poignant lyrics, typical BE. It's really quite depressing, but in such a beautiful way. There's almost little glimmers of hope occasionally with lines, and it ends quite neutrally, with

"but thank you for talking because i needed to some things just can't wait"

as if something had finally been resolved in his mind. Feb 15th, the day after Valentine's Day...any connection, like some sort of disappointment after not receiving a card from someone? Who knows?
