Every time I listen, I get a mental image of a mostly-abandoned pier. The kind of place where, other than employees(who are still hired for God knows why), no one really goes. But maybe it just seems that way because it's off-peak season. After all, who goes to places like that around Christmas?
But this is one song that, for me, doesn't translate into someone dumping Matt. To me, it seems that the singer (who's point of view the song is from) lost someone in a more permanent way, like death. And all he has left is the memories of what they used to do together, like ride the ferris wheel and watch the manequins in the windows.
Just the mental image I always get. The kind of scene I would expect in a movie playing it in the background.
