I always thought this song was a response to the movie "Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind".
"Where have you gone?
The beach is so cold in winter here
And where have I gone?
I wake in Montauk with you near
Remember the day
'Cause this is what dreams should always be
I just want to stay
I just want to keep this dream in me"
Those lyrics vaguely outline some serious points in the movie.
"On a Valentine Day, Joel Barish feels the impulse of going to Montauk instead of working. After spending the cold day on the beach, he meets Clementine Kruczynski on the train station and they have a crush on each other. Joel and Clementine do not know that they were mates in the past. Joel has just erased Clementine from his memories when he found that Clementine did exactly the same, when their relationship ended. However, along his erasing process, Joel becomes astonished when he finds that he still loves Clementine and he does not want to lose her, fighting for keeping the memories of their moments together instead."

Either way, I love this song, and I love Ryan's voice.
