Amazing band. This was the song that got me hooked on them. I think its meaning is pretty straight forward. He's leaving the girl he loves, and then he realizes how much he misses her and he wants to go back, and he's asking her to wait for him. Only thing that bothers me is Portland is in Oregon if I remember correctly, not Maine. Maybe he mean's it like port-land. Doesn't Maine have a big fishing industry, therefore many ports?
