I hadn’t really thought too hard about it; I really like a lot of the lines in that song but I hadn’t put them all together and wondered what they were about yet. I sort of vaguely thought it could be something which brings up a bittersweet memory, or some kind of revelation about her which puts their relationship/breakup in a whole new perspective. Evidence that she’s a spy with a secret identity, and/or his nemesis? A pregnancy or paternity test? I figured he left something different in the box for her (or for ‘you’? I guess that’s someone different from the ‘she’ in the beginning) which twists the situation yet again; maybe he’s not who she thought he was either.
Far too late you see the one inside the box is you…
I guess the too-obvious-to-be-obvious answer would be: A very powerful solvent.
ETA: I haven’t read all of the Lord of the Rings so I’m not sure if this works, but, something precious and rare that you kind of want but it kind of screws you if you’re not careful? Could it be the ring?
