Great Expectations Lyrics

I love this song. I have some ideas about what it might mean, but I think I am seeing it a certain way because of my current situation. It seems to me to be about a love affair. Maybe they are giving it another shot after being apart for a time (I'll call on you like I used to). I think it is a beatiful song, both musically and lyrically.
