This song is most probably about the narrator's longing for some sort assurance that his partner's heart is as true as his. The thing islike a lot of other Blue Nile songs, mood functions over narrative here. Paul Buchanan paints such amazing visuals with both his lyrics and his arrangements. Whenever I listen to Hats, it conjures this foggy, blue, deserted urban landscape.

@Iamschpartacus I like your interpretation. It happens to me too, Paul Buchanan takes my mind and heart to old memories and emotions of México city. Thanks.
