This is a very pretty song, especially at the beginning - I'm surprised no one's commented yet.
I haven't actually dissected it for all its worth, but I must say, the first stanza alone kills me. I've interpreted it as Jeff strongly associating these objects with somebody he once loved, and on looking at them, he's instantly reminded of his past feelings.
Other related lines are Oh I'm a future fallout standing / In the present erase our phantom - very clever wordplay here - by 'fallout' I suspect he means literally falling out of love, which he hopes to achieve in the near future, though he currently remains haunted by the phantom of his past relationship.
Admittedly, I don't exactly get the second and third stanzas, so I might be wrong. All the same, I have trouble listening to this song, because I'll start thinking about my ex-girlfriend.
