Billy loves this song and so do I. In fact it's may favorite pumpkins song even though I don't consider Adore to be half the album M.C. & I.S. is ;)
The ostensible meaning of this song is that it is a description of a relationship that has ended. The specifics of that relationship can be anything, but to me I would have to say that this song describes a relationship that was never an official boyfriend/girlfriend or marriage situation, just "lovers". "we are reasons so unreal
we can't help but feel that something has been lost" Means that there's no real reason, but something has been lost. If they had been married or going steady then of course something has been lost because a serious relationship ended and he wouldn't be saying "we can't hel but feel..." These people had a fling or just had sex all the time and never had a real relationship. "we always we're so free
we promised that we'd be
perfect" They were always free, never tied down by the other. This can seem like the perfect type of relationship at first but it never is.
I bumped into a girl I knew growing up who is now a teacher, just a few days after school let out back in June. We started hanging out once or twice a week and would have sex, but we would occasionally do 'couple' things like go to the movies or get ice cream. The day before the first day of school she let me know that she wouldn't have time to hang out in the fall and that she was ending it.

It was never an official thing but it still made me feel awful. I heard this song at work today and everything makes me feel about this experience, although I do agree it's probably more of a general breakup song. 'strangers when we meet/strangers on the street' is pretty much exactly how we ran into each other (I didn't even recognize her at first) and 'you know it's not the end/We'll always be good friends' is basically how she dumped me. 'strangers down the line/Lovers out of time/Memories unwind' really gets to me though, because our relationship had such a time limit - the first day of summer vacation to the last.
i really don't know if anyone reads these, or posts here a lot, but maybe someone will like or reply to this comment sometime and i'll get a notification on my phone that will remind me of this bittersweet summer that i had.

@myhotelyear I feel your comment so much. I just broke off with a fling. At first, it seems so perfect but really it's not. Not perfect at all
