I hear some of the lyrics different. For example:
'I only want you to be happier, I only want you to let go'
'I'll only call if I get word'
'We've been soaked too long to care or complain'
Don't know whether yours or mine are right, but still.
Anyway, I reckon the song's about a guy who's dumping his girlfriend, and he can remember the moment he knew it was over but he 'can't recall the day': well, that's how memories like that work. People always ask 'when did this happen?' but, y'know...
He's writing her a letter to let her know it's over, but he keeps having to start again 'another lifetime of words will be forgotten and burned by the time you reach this letter'.
Lovely song, one of their best I think.
