This song is obviously about a girl that he loved but is now gone. She seems to be a girl that was not only an old flame, but possibly a friend (or romance) that he knew from a very young age. Initially i would say that she is gone due to a breakup, but the bridege is a bit tricky, Taken literally, he could be looking through actual wreackage, his hands shaking with anticipation lookin for some sign of her. Or, it could be symbolic of the wreckage of his life since she left.
