actually, I believe the meaning of this song to be very up-front and obvious. he fell in love with a girl, they went out, they broke up, and "Something went wrong ", and since then he's felt empty. he hasn't loved at all cince the tradgedy. he holds on to the small "grain of sand" of the memory of the feeling, but wishees it would be a "pearl", bigger, better, stronger.
