Paraphrase
A relationship that was obviously meaningful and deep to him that unfortunately ended in a single explosive moment and
never had the time to dissipate like relationships that fizzle out.

Because of that, the memories and feelings are still mostly positive. She will live forever in his mind as the best she ever
was and their love remains untainted.

The ghost of their relationship will forever have an effect on him, both in the ways it directly changed him while they were
together and in the way he looks for a future partner.

It is a hauntingly beautiful and personal song. A song that is very relatable, whether you have had the feeling before or
even if you are in a great relationship and can project what would happen if you ever were separated.
