I'm surprised that nobody caught the Doctor Who reference within the lyrics.
"Sucker lover box I choose,"
"No other box I choose to use," and
"Something borrowed, something blue" all refer to the TARDIS.
"All alone in space and time
There's nothing here and what here's mine" refers to The Doctor being a Time Lord and having nothing other than occasional companions. What he does have for himself is the TARDIS, which he "borrowed" from a factory and without the TARDIS there would be no real purpose to his existence.
It's probably because Moffat and this song refer to the same rhyme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Something_old). Though some of the references are almost a bit too coincidental ..

Not sure about any Doctor Who link. Personally, always thought this was about an intense, likely brief and callous love affair, with one party being cruel and the other passive. 'Box' is English slang for an anal passage. 'Something borrowed, something blue' (a sixpence in your shoe) is old English folk saying/poem describing items a bride should be gifted and carried to her wedding for luck. The wedding link is doubly ironic as will never happen. Great song.

Every single time I hear this song I think of Doctor Who! I'm glad I'm not the only one!

If you see what I posted about it, I agree with you SO MUCH but I kind of analyzed every line and it REALLY is about the show.
