This song seems to be about the lifespan of imaginary friends, who unfortunately outlive the interest of their creator. This song talks about the deaths of two nebulous characters, Mayflower and Mr. Bear, who appear to be imaginary friends or perhaps actual toys, or aspects of the songwriter's self which have died. The song is an elegy for these entities which have died alone, presumably in the narrator's childhood room. We hear the exact same refrain when the narrator talks about her own death. This song is so beautiful and sad, and this artist is one of my personal favorites but I might be completely wrong about the interpretation.
