It's about the grayer areas of love. We expect love to be manifest itself in certain ways, as exhibited to us by the media, magazines, books. There's a guy who obviously cares about this girl, but something feels off in him. He's not sure if it's b/c he's not completely in love with her or because he's realizing that the way he's feeling IS actually how love is supposed to feel. Anyway, he's torn so even though he wants to talk to her, get the postcard from Trafalgar Square, he also doesn't have some grand plan to "win [her] back". So he feels his confusion and projects that onto her, saying the she is "a mystery to me." what a lovely, complex song.
