There are no words for how perfect this song is. Sometimes I don't listen to it for months, and then I do and I'm hit again by how wonderful it is. Clever, without quite being too clever. It's also less oblique in its emotional punch than many Lucksmiths songs. It's beautiful.
The meaning to me is incredibly obvious so I won't interpret it. I remember years ago going on a trip to Europe and leaving my then-boyfriend behind in Australia. I sent him a postcard with the third verse (cartography for beginners) written on it. Kind of makes me laugh now (I was young - he was my first love) but truth be told, I'd most likely do that again with the right person.
