The song is somewhat unusual in that it is [[diegetic]], or part of the narrative.  Like "[[Abigail's Song]]" and "[[My Angel Put the Devil in Me]]" — but ''unlike'' "[[Song for Ten]]" or "[[Vale Decem]]" — it's heard by the characters in the episode.

Exactly from whose perspective the lyrics are told is a matter of debate, as media coverage suggested the song might be told from the captain of the ''Titanic'' replica's point of view, despite the fact he and the [[Tenth Doctor]] do not meet, nor do they share any sort of romantic interaction. A more likely candidate is [[Astrid Peth]], who greets the Doctor as a stowaway and proceeds to become attracted to him (though the outcome of the lyrics differs from the outcome of the episode vis a vis Peth's fate).
