yeah, i think this song has to do with time. & realising that you've wasted/lost so much time.. but i think it's optimistic. like the protagonist has turned over a new leaf (a new year's resolution ?), and now is trying to get back this time, and this person, that she lost. she's forgetting about the past (last year) and forgiving and apologising. she wants to start afresh, because she realises how precious time really is.
"it's a delightful curse to have wasted so much time" .. this line suggests that time hasn't neccasarily made things worse, but it hasn't gotten better either.
