This song for me creates an image of someone escaping troubles back home and escaping to New York (the skyline scene). There the "escapee" is sitting in a cafe and they see a beautiful woman (a mystery overseas, and a stranger with a perfect face), and imagine being with her, in every sense of the word.
The parachute they're wrapped in in verse 2 refers to this escaping it all, the troubles back home and "parachuting" out of them, and also the bed sheets around them as they lie there together.
