The singer, Conor, is very torn up over a breakup. The girl he had broken up with does not seem bothered by the breakup and is already out dating new guys. This hurts Conor that she is the same without him.
[Verse 1]
You sang in the swell
Coruscating with such
Ordinary colours of the coast
The champagne fielding neighbourhoods
Where you've come to know contentment
In cataracts and torrents
Coalescing summer songs with
New partners for slumber
[Chorus]
In spite of this I am beside myself
And despite this you are the same without me
In spite of this I am beside myself
And despite this you are the same without me
[Verse 2]
You belong further in
Winter body
I was meant to keep you warm
Please come home
But I am anchored
Because I can not contain you
