There's something deeply affecting about this song. A sense of mutual sadness, the sun setting on a relationship, yet there are permanent reminders from their time together "they won't come undone". I always feel a kind of, well, desolate, after this song (which I often end up playing at sunset on a Sunday!)
It's as if he's acknowledged that he has tried everything to maintain his relationship, and so has she. And he has made many mistakes, and so has she.
And it's time to let it go, let it lie, "waiting to be restored"
On a final note, I always though that it was SHE who said "because that's not the way world is, baby. This is how I love you, baby"
But it was HIM! I stand corrected, it really changes the way I look at the song now! For the better, I think.
