Place de la République Lyrics

I went through a slow break up several years ago. We were a long distance couple, and it took several months to finally "quit" the relationship. I listened to this song a lot when it was really, finally, over. Sometimes I think of him and realize I've forgotten all the details of why it had to end. But if I listen to this song... my heart immediately remembers. I cannot remember everything he did to me but I can remember how he made me feel. And that's quite enough.

I think the literal meaning is open to interpretation... but obviously, I see it (and feel it) as a break up with distance involved.
