Lyric discussion by thatchinagirl 

My analysis is that this song deals with wasted time during "the springtime of my life". Perhaps, the point of view is of someone who is older (in the winter of their life) and is looking with some regrett on choices they made when they were younger.

@thatchinagirl, indeed. "Time time time, see what's become of me. While I look around for my possibilities."

"The sky is a hazy shade of winter" indicates that he is nearing the end and regrets "carrying a cup in his hand" his whole life.

It is easy to tell people to hang onto dashed hopes and dreams, but in the end, when things don't work out, you kind of just have to fake it. "Simply pretend that you can build them again."
