"Brielle is a little town on the coast of New Jersey. I wrote the song after reading Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson in which he recounts the discovery of a World War II German U-boat sixty miles off the U.S. coast in 1991. The song describes a sailor who is about to leave on a long trip and wonders whether he will ever see the girl he loves again." - Adam Young
There is also a town in the Netherlands called Brielle (but read as "Bril"; English name Brill), made famous as one of the first towns captured by the Dutch revolutionaries during the Dutch War of Independence/Eighty Years' War against Spain.

Actually the Brielle in NJ is named the same Brielle in the Netherlands.
