Someone below comments it is about a euro girlfriend always travelling. Then the line about buying a car and watching it rust becomes literal - she's not there to drive the car and it just sits somewhere gathering dust. I saw this in blocks of flats in London, top end Mercs just sitting in the car park unused for months...
Beyond this, the song does sound metaphysical somehow, and makes me think of my sister, even if that's not what it's about.
