The likeness to Sufjan really rings clear on this song. At least in the instruments, the vocals and lyrics themselves I feel are no where near as robust.
All comparisons aside, this song has a very interesting mood shift from the first lines to the last. He is willing to do anything he can for her, unless it has to do with their future. When the strings come in after "I never knew it all" it feels as though the his own words have finally sunk in. Even when you know you have to break it off with someone, there is always that sadness that the violins embody.
