This song is one of the best songs about "divorce" ever written.
The first line should be "Seems I've got to have a change of SCENE" and the verse goes on to discuss being tortured by thoughts of how things might have turned out better.
The chorus is just asking the girl if she feels as bad as the singer does.
The second verse discusses how it is time to move on. The final line, in all the Traffic and Dave Mason (who I believe wrote the song) versions, is "Cause there's too much to do before I SIGN"; which is why I feel this is about divorce specifically and not just a breakup. (The Joe Cocker "hack job" of this song does use the words "before I DIE" but then I think Joe basically missed the point of the song.)
The final verse is possibly about the girl asking to reconcile and the singer telling her find some other sap, but I am not sure about this; it might just be about his acceptance of moving on.
