This song is a downtrodden, heart wrenching tale of losing someone you deeply loved for years, who once shared your bed but now haunts it. A meditation on the mental effects of grief, think Mount Eerie's A Crow Looked At Me. It is also a reflection of the narrator as much as it is a reflection on their relationship. Like the way losing one you consider your "better half" can make you want to stare in a mirror for a time, checking to see if you're still all there. The part where is reads "Sorry Charlie" is an obvious reference to Charlie Sheen's "Tiger Blood" era, commenting on another form of mental disorder altogether and admitting to the lack of energy or fortitude to deal with these things(the haunt) with similar gusto. This song probably won't make for easy listening, but you perhaps could forge a somber piano ballad out of it, with muffled or bluesy guitar sections separating the verses, and it would probably help if you can really sell the vocal delivery in a personal, intimate way. Or use a good deal of reverb, emphasizing the distanced, alienated place that the narrator's head is at. But that's just are off the cuff suggestion. This is the kind of song written not out of artistic ambition per se, but an extreme need to exorcise the demons of a tormented psyche. I hope you find something in it that moves you, albeit in a gentler way.

The narrator loves all the year round. His girl, on the other hand, migrates like the wild geese, flying away every spring.

When you're in a relationship and even though you fight and yell at eachother, it all stays in the past and it's always worth trying to fight for what you love.

About two people who have lost so much in their life, and he just wants to love her and protect her broken heart.....

The lyric is about two lovers that have been together for a long time, they have had a lot of love between them, but as the years have gone by, they have slowly, started to drift and fall out of love, for no reason in particular. But do remain good friends - with the prospect of starting again on their own.
