These notes are marked return to sender
I'll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew how good it is to see you
See you, see you, ooh, ooh
These steps I take don't get me anywhere
I'm gettin' further from myself
One thins is always true, how good it is to see you
See you, see you, ooh, ooh
I'm done resenting you, you represented me so well
And this I promise you
How could I end up in this hands of someone else?

To me it's always been a story like: He wrote a letter telling her how he feels, poured himself into it, and in the sent it to her. She doesn't bother to read it and sent it right back to him, hence the "marked Return to Sender" line... because when you get a letter you don't want, you don't even open it and just put it back in the box and write "RETURN TO SENDER" on it.
I love this song because he's like "ok, you don't give a shit about me, but I'm still filled with such an amazing feeling when I see you and we had something amazing together, so I'm letting go of my hurt over your actions/inaction, and just embracing that feeling when it comes and goes. I just wish you knew about it."
Very upbeat song about getting over someone, I think. Or trying to in good faith. :p
I never thought of this as break-up song but I like plastic-man's take on it.
"These steps I take don't get me anywhere I'm getting further from
myself" - line means: you are trying to get the person to like you in 'that way' again, it doesnt work, in doing this you don't act like yourself
"I'm done resenting you you represented me so well" - 'resenting you' the 'you' is not a person its the fact that the person broke up with you, and the 'you represented me so well' you thought you were so great together
