Wow, can't believe no one's commented on this yet! This is my favourite Plaskett song by far.
To me, it's about a person who finds themselves stumbling upon someone unexpectedly, and that initial meeting makes a deep impression on the other. The narrator of the song, however, doesn't believe in love or themselves and doesn't take it seriously;
(I broke your heart
Just messing around
This non-believer).
Eventually, though, the narrator does realize he loves (I opened up my eyes to find), but can't do it properly. He still can't take anything seriously, and the other person has already moved on.
I think it's about love that hasn't come to the surface yet...or how sometimes the seemingly unimportant people can turn out to be the ones who affect you the most. I can relate to it.

Unfortunately she has a boyfriend, and its just left me wondering about life and fate and destiny and coincidence and what it all means.
Regardless of all that, it is truly a brilliant song, couldn't agree more with what you've said!
