I think this song is about a person that you have probably known for a long time and would like to create distance between youself and them.
The hard part is that while you want distance, you really dont want to hurt the other person. You dont want to be the one to ruin the relationship, so by keeping their memory vague you are trying to prevent yourself from being blamed for the separation.
The excuse for this situation is explained by telling the other person that memories keep us close.
Although it is beautifully performed, I think this song is semi-cowardly, because under these circumstances the person singing is simply trying to escape a delicate situation by manipulating the other to not feel bad... but the other person has this right simply because the singer is misleading them.
I think the lesson in learned in the end of the song when the singer is asking " where in the world have you gone now?"... a sign of their regret for letting the relationship get away.
This song could in fact apply to any close relationship...
