basically this song is ben getting drunk while finding out that his one-night stand or previous girlfriend from title track is getting married. squeezing a heart through his fingertip is probably referring to him trying to tell her thru email or aim or whatever what his true feelings are but he types too slow so he doesnt see it as effective. as for sending a postcard from the eastern block, he wants to acknowledge the marriage and his loss but he cant come to grips with it in person so he needs to keep a distance. and then it flows into the epilogue which is the actual wedding. this whole album relates to wanting a relationship with someone you cant do it with because they are already taken and then troubles that that causes. check out some of the input from other members on different songs and youll see what i mean. hope this helps out a bit.
goaliepride, I totally agree with you. I absoutely love this song and I'm also "one of the few" who actually prefers it to the epilogue, although I absolutely love the epilogue too.
I think that n220u_flyer pretty much hit the nail on the head with his explanation, sounds absolutely on point. This album has some of the deepest music about relationships I have EVER heard and that I ever will hear. I hardly ever make comments on this site, but this song and album is so woth it. I really hope that when people here these songs that they don't take...

I really hope that when people here these songs that they don't take it lightly. There are serious messages and feelings behind them. This Company Calls song may sound upbeat and jumpy, but behind it was a painful singer talking about real issues. For me, this is what music is about and to be honest in this day and age I rarely ever find music this good anymore and it's actually very sad. I still play this track over and over again almost daily.
