"'The characters in this song — well, one of them is me, and the other is my partner, and it was very early on in our relationship, and at that sort of moment when you're not really sure how you're going to sort of come together and make sense of the slightly messy romantic roads leading to that point. I remember being in London, and he came to meet me in this little flat and he had just come from a funeral and so it's really just about that very small moment, that slightly pivotal moment of not knowing where things might go.....Listening to that song now, it really takes me back to that little flat in Bermondsey and that feeling of being so sort of tender and slightly unsure. It's this very small, beautiful moment for me that was slightly at a crossroads in my life. That song sort of marks that crossroads where you do sort of make a choice, and for me, it is a pure love song."
