Lyric discussion by txnuke1201 

Soft shoulder strikes me as quite mystical. Its a song that covers a long period of time, personal growth/maturity, self-awareness and the connectedness of everything. Of course, as mentioned before, the "old flame" theme is at the forefront. But behind that, I think it could imply that soul mates can meet and not connect except for a little while. They have their separate lives, learn their separate lessons. But their entire lives they are connected on a deeper level. Their memories, the letters and songs and the writing of them (and keeping them and reading them) helps the growth process. But their destiny is to be together. Often during their lives, separated by many miles, they look up at the same sky and "feel" each other out there. But maturity means that the stay the course, trying to have faith and patience until they meet again. Finally, in the end, they each have some limited input into what time they are going to move on (destiny --of course--having the upper hand in their fates). They finish what the are doing and become one again in the afterlife. Romatinc? Yeah, I guess I can't help it.
