This is definitely my favorite song by them.
It's addicting & never gets old.
My interpretation of this song is that this girl that he loved, she died, but he just can't accept the fact that she did, and is denying the fact that she's dead.
He still remembers the day, Sunday, when she "disappeared"
"Forgive me, I'm trying to find my calling
I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me"
He's looking for her, but he can't find her because she's, well, dead.
But he won't tell himself that she is.
"Even though she doesn't believe in love
He's determined to call her bluff
Who could deny these butterflies?
They're filling his gut"
One of my favorite lines in this song.
My favorite part is Juliet's part:
"I'm not coming back
(Forgive me)
I've done something so terrible
I'm terrified to speak
(I'm not calling, I'm not calling)
But you'd expect that from me
I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt
(You're driving me crazy)
Now the rain is just washing you out of my hair
And out of my mind
Keeping an eye on the world
From so many thousands of feet off the ground
I'm over you now
I'm at home in the clouds, towering over your head"
I think this part is about his ex-girlfriend's message to him in heaven, hence "in the clouds/towering over your head."
"I'm over you now" is a wordplay/pun I think, because she's over him like she doesn't love him anymore, but she's also over him because shes up in the clouds in heaven.
