I just became a member of this site and I adore this song. Emeli is amazing. But on to my interpretation, I think this song could be about a guy who turned a girl out used her up and didn't give a damn about her before he dropped her like a bad habit. She's recovering from the ups and downs of their "relationship" and just when she thinks she's snapping out of the spell he put her under, she starts to get pulled back in as she begins to reminisce how she was once chosen by this playboy.
Although I listed that interpretation first, idk why, my primary interpretation is that this song is about drug addiction, most likely a female's drug addiction/ recovery (possibly ecstasy as the drug of choice?). Just a thought... think about it as you read through the lyrics...
