This is my song.

It's like, the story of my life. Down to the details (faded jeans, leather jacket, blue eyes, him not being around..)

Anyway.. the meaning is pretty obvious... There was a girl he loved but when she needed him he wasn't there for her, and now that she's moved on and is with someone else, he admits she's better off with him.

He wishes he had been there, and the regret never goes away, but everything works out.

Love love love this song. <3

I haven't checked the date, but I do know Tom went through a rough time with the divorce he had with his first wife. Just throwing it out there but I believe this song could be about her. As some of you have written its easy to connect to this song from personal experience especially in relationships. So just to throw my opinion in I am guessing that this song is just sharing his feelings about his wife and the relationship that he has now lost, he is very much detailed, but is not so specific, but thats just Tom's...
