this song is absolutely amazing. dreamy, sad,

i think it's about the coming togethero f two people who were once in a long relationship but haven't seen each other in a long time. the speaker is being sarcastic with the "always a relief to see you again" line, but part of me also can't help but think he is secretly relieved to see the other person, and he's trying to figure out all that has passed between them and how someone he once loved could hurt him.
