This song is pretty amazing. I especially love the constant refrain at the end.

From what I can gather, it seems like the song is about someone stumbling upon photos/letters he hadn't seen in years, and feeling huge waves of nostalgia over them, remembering the good times with friends, chances he should have taken (with a special someone?) and dwelling over them. Pretty self-explanatory, I would say!

"Through water damaged bloodshot eyes" What an amazing lyricist Gary really is :)
