The melody is so slow and forlorn, which is fitting for how slow the time goes when you're away from someone you care about. He obviously cares very much in a very resigned and vulnerable way...I love how honest it is.
I love the comparison between distance on a map and distance in real life. Sometimes it feels like an entire universe stands between you and someone you care about(physically or otherwise) but when you look at it in simple form, like in text or on a map, it seems so short, which somehow makes the gap feel even larger. It's so hard to bridge the distance sometimes, it's maddening.
"And when I spoke to you
You said 'I’ll see you soon'
But I won’t see you for ages..."
That whole verse about the phone call is so sad and touching. Perfectly captures that feeling I get when someone says he or she will see me soon, when we both know for a fact I won't, and how it makes me feel even more helpless and far away.
