Definitely my favourite Badly Drawn Boy song and quite possibly one of my favourite songs ever. I don't know, just something about the desperation and the ongoing story in the lyrics gets me. Plus just about every song is improved by a whistling solo.
I think it's about unrequited love, or if not completely unrequited, then him still being in love with a girl who has moved on because his life is so stagnant (something he realises along the way in the song). He still loves her but, like most of the other things in his life, he's never really gotten around to telling her that it's an absolute truth and asking her to marry him.
This song has such a beautiful flow to it. I just... love it. Completely.
