This song is gorgeous. I've never thought of it as uplifting or positive. It sounds to me like he's singing it to an ex he feels pity or disdain for. Someone who's searching for love to replace one they had.
Regardless, try Death Cab For Cutie's cover of it on the John Byrd EP. It's not as good as the original, but they do a great job with it.
