this is a total feel-good song. the opening trumpet with the mute is very comforting. warm. humble. sincere. like a big hug from stranger who really does care. its like the trumpet almost says "cheer up." this was sort of me and my girlfriends song. but then she made some bad decisions, and we are in limbo now. its hard to listen to this song now. i think it is just saying that we were together, things were great. we broke up. and after the bridge, its not "goodbye to me to you to us" its just "here's to me to you to us". in other words, things were great then, but now their not, but i dont regret a second of our time together/it was great. but then it says "things werent better than, you felt that you had to pretend." maybe this is referring to how they broke up. or that he is still sour about the breakup. "then you stop and sign and then you wonder why" why did they break up maybe? or maybe he is saying that "as time goes by" he realized just how great the relationship was, and why did they break up?
