Come December, Lydia left
She mentioned something about it being for the best
And I can't say I disagree
It's killing me
Now we're standing facing west
Tracing my fingers 'round her silhouette
I haven't gotten used to it yet
But it's the brightest thing I've got
So I have been thinking about this ending. Probably over analyzing as usual!!! BUT......
It's December, Lydia left...and he knows that the relationship wasn't meant to be. He knows its for the best like she does, but that still doesn't make it any better. It still hurts.
So she is gone and John sings.."now were standing facing west, tracing my fingers round her silhouette.." Is he talking about Lydia? Or who is standing next to him if he says were?
I always kinda went back to the song City Love, and in the final verse there it talked about "from the battery, to the gallery." I had no idea what that meant til i just thought.. hey, maybe they are in Battery Park NYC..looking west, and tracing the towers that aren't there anymore.

I mean you never know, but i could be way off!
I always thought the ending meant.. he's got a new girl now.

West is where the sun sets - and the sun has set on Lydia.

He now has his arm around a new girl - tracing her silhouette - but she's new - he hasn't gotten use to her yet.

But.. like Lydia was.. she's now the best thing he's got.

Is he going to repeat the same mistakes over again?

Anyway.. that's how I always read it... I'm likely way off?
