I love this song. It reminds me of Iron & Wine, except I like the vocals here a little better. AND, I'm from the Cayman Islands so even though it has nothing to do with the song, I think that's pretty rad.
I think it's more about escaping with someone you love that hasn't exactly won the approval of friends/family/etc. Kind of like Romeo and Juliet. It's like they're in this place away from the rest of the world, just the two of them, and in that one moment everything is perfect even though they (or at least the singer) knows it won't last forever.
"These canals, it seems, they all go in circles
Places look the same, and we're the only difference"
I think he's talking about the cycle of trying to stay with each other despite pressures from their environment, but the 2nd line..? I honestly don't know for sure.

All in all, gorgeous song.
