When I first heard this song and didn't know all the lyrics I thought Mary had died. I pictured Danny and Dido looking back, remembering her well and helping each other get over the loss. If they fall in love, great! They would gain something positive from her death. I loved this song. After listening a few more times and reading the lyrics I realized that she had just gone off to India, and, while Dido obviously thinks well of Mary, she is still going to hook up with her boyfriend while she is gone! Things will definately be awkward when Mary gets back. I don't love the song as much as I used to...
I agree. First time I heard it I figured Mary died too....and they were reminiscing, and both trying to move on with their lives despite the grief, then found solace/comfort in each other.
