This song is about the singer feeling like everything in life so far has been leading up to the day he meets the girl in question. However the end of the song is written by Guy Garvey about his split with long time girlfriend Emma Jane Unsworth.
Garvey says; "It's almost saying, everything from the beginning of time was leading up to the day we met. So that's very romantic, but something I'm fond of doing, when I'm offering a huge romantic gesture, is to point out the realities as well."
After the break-up though he admitted that the song that he thought "was about this mythical mix of ex-girlfriends, it's really about her, it's this prophetic thing. I added some lyrics at the end, about imagining her going on and having a family without me, which is tough to swallow."
