My own feelings about this song are probably quite different from what it was meant to mean, but kick back to what I have experienced and felt myself.

In the first three parts I think he is addressing friends in general. Every time he gets to where he has friends and feels comfortable in a place something happens. People change, or he changes, or moves. He doesn't belong anymore.

In the last part I think he is talking about not ever completely knowing someone. Especially in the sense of a girlfriend.

This song almost always brings a slight tear to my eye along with a lot of memories, but I can't stop listening to it.
