This song is heartbreaking in every sense. A young man who never had to fight for his love, and the first time he is compelled to do so he must concede that some doors are better left closed. The sorrow has hardened him; he is unable to move on as the rolling wave of her memory keeps him down.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel however, if we treat Sam's body of work as a whole. By listening to the albums in order the next song we hear tells us that that there's still love at the end of the world :)
