I imagine this as a guy who works a lot or travels a lot sort of trying to make up for not always being there for his lover. It can also be about a guy thinking about what his wife will do after he's dead and how he will make plans for her to be taken care of but given what I know about ben gibbard, its more about just not being there physically while he's on tour, and wanting his lover to know that he is still with her in thought.
