This cover by Lily Allen portrays a different imagery in comparison to Keane's version.
I felt as if this song was speaking about a memory a girl once had.
The girl came back to the place where she was so familiar with, a path where she has been returning to time after time. She sat by the river and reminisced of the days she once had with him. The simple days they've once had seems to be gone, and it seems as if she's the only one remaining in the past. She feels weary and wishes she could rely on him.
Time passes, and she wandered back to the place where her and her lover once knew. She came across the fallen tree, and she asked herself if this was really the place where her lover and her wandered. The surroundings were no longer the same as they were in the past. She then realized that the simple days she had with him were from the past, a memory. It was no longer a dream, but perhaps a reality that she's getting older and need to learn to let go, and rely on someone new. She cannot keep waiting for the memories return again.
She wishes she has a chance to see him again. A chance to be with him in a place they once only knew... A chance for a closure of letting go and a chance to move on from the memories...
