I get a totally different meaning out of this song, not to say I'm right necessarily.. But I've always thought that the song was about a girl that he used to be with, and things didn't work out, so instead of going the rest of their lives without each other they erase the memory of being together so that they can meet once again under different circumstances and have some sort of friendship the second time around. "Tiny ships in bottles, they wont sail too far out..." I've always interpreted as, the two would reacquaint inevitably because they are the ships and there's only so far they can go, before they must turn around and run into each other again.

I feel like this song is about two soul mates, that new each other in their past lives since childhood and cat, dog, owl and bumblebee were play names like when little kids pretend to be each others pets, eventually growing old together. However in their current life they found each other, but are maybe having a disagreement or are in a fight, and he saying how they're meant to be, so its been a while. Im not sure what the part about erasing his memory is about, but i think it could have something to do with every time...
