I think this song is about a relationship that didn't happen. And wishing it had, imagining what would have happened. Not caring that it would end bad, just wanting to be able to remember the whole thing. The writer regrets not starting a relationship, because he thought it would end badly... but now he realizes that perhaps the relationship and memories of it would have been worth a bad falling out with the girl. I've had this happen to me at least twice....
