I see this song as an expression of nostalgia, but not as much for other people, as for the other life he might have lived.
I see this song as a beautiful little metaphor of the longing felt for the other life, the other one that might have been lived. And I believe we all can relate to that, because, as we grow older, we see how the people we know tend to live their own little lives as so do we all... similar I guess to the feelings expressed by Lennon in "In My Life".
