i definately think this is a song of yearning and regret. he's remembering what he had, all the times he ran away from love"i was the jerk who preferred the seato tussling in the waves". now he cant stop thinking about their lost love and how he regrets now fully apprecaiting what he had. he now has the freedom he wanted at the time, but now that coveted freedom seems inconsequential and tarnished. i love how the lyrics are seemingly simple yet so complex and layered with meaning.
