This is one of my fave Voxtrot songs, and the meaning has always been very clear to me. It's about the end of a relationship which falls apart because the partners change and they're no longer compatible with one another. The narrator (male or female, doesn't really matter) is clinging to a dying relationship and reflecting on times when it used to work and what went wrong.
Maybe it's that "Baby I'd leave you for the person you used to be" just jumps out at me as one of the best lyrics I've ever heart, but I also feel it explains the entire song: a narrator yearning for a person, and by extension, relationship, that no longer exists.
