A break-up song, short and bittersweet. She sends the narrator a postcard, he obsesses over what she really means by it, and then they meet and "now I don't have to read between the lines" -- it's over. They break up in an empty movie theatre, then he walks home. If you connect this to the other songs on the album he probably treated her pretty badly ("I know I'm in no position to miss her") but it doesn't help; he still wishes it wasn't over and wonders "what she was thinking" -- maybe wondering if she's regretting ending it?
