This song fits perfectly in the nearly flawless album the xx has created. It follows the general theme of losing something/ giving something up (probably love) that all the other songs on the album do. I love the loud clap, symbol smash, or whatever it is during the chorus. Just smoke a little reef and listen to this album, tranquility will ensue.
This song is about timing with love and never being on the same page with 2 people that desire eachother still, after space and time. They see one another, but she has now found love thus 'cant give up someone elses touch' yet both still feel the compassion and they are once again on different avenues. She doesnt want to risk ruining something potentially wonderful with someone new over someone she already had a past with, which was passionate but deciptful. She knows its not a path she wants to continue on anymore, but still craves him and wonders why...

By the end she is saying too little too late, I cant give up what I have now, and he is full of regret.....
