"There's a handwritten note pressed in the door of her screened in porch, recalling that day miles from shore" an invitation to a wedding that he does not want to go to, to a girl he liked, in his home town brielle. "She was still wearing white and robins egg blue, Her grandmother's dress" like the saying something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a white dress for the wedding, with something blue and something borrowed from her grandma. He was upset so he left, and no one really knew why "only whispers can tell" he'll come back home because he will get bored "so until til then, i wish you well" he wishes her luck about the new guy. this is just a guess, i really have no idea.
I think you're spot on with "something old something new something borrowed, something blue" - but I don't personally agree that he ran out on the wedding.
"I left [home] early that year, how I wound up here is anyone's guess" - I think that, if he wasn't going out to sea (Adam said it's about a man on a German WWII U-Boat" - they would've got married & that's what she was ready for. & he left early, so there was more to be done (i.e. marriage & ).

IDK, that's just my view on it. I could be very wrong. Adam's music is always about each listener's interpretation. I really like what you said though. I didn't even think about the wedding!
