"I pack my case. I check my face. I look a little bit older. I look a little bit colder."
he realises he's "getting older" or just changing, and things are changing.
the "i move a little bit closer" is him accepting this change, and embracing it, taking it as it comes.
so clearly, this change is occurring "for reasons unknown".
"i caught my stride. i flew and flied."
is him moving on, going on to different things, and things are going well.
except for that
"But my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to. And my eyes, they don’t see you no more. And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don’t recognize you no more."
he doesn't feel the same way about this girl anymore.
i guess it's the typical, i'm moving on and you're not part of me anymore thing.
only much more stylish, beautiful, and in that amazing Killers kind of way.
the "open chair" is him and the girl sitting down to a little chat
and he explains this situation.
" if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind"
he's telling her that he's got another way to go, and destiny's taking him forth
but she's not going with him
because he doesn't see her the same way anymore
the futures what's in store and he has to leave her in the past.
