The way this song has connected with me goes something like this. There are two people in love. They've come to the end of their relationship and they had their last moment where maybe everything they wanted to say didn't get said. To be specific the character speakin in the lyrics. Now they've moved on with their lives and are faraway from one another. The guy is sure if he would have said what he had to instead of just letting his lover go everything would be different. He's haunted by these thoughts and wants to just write it down and see if the love he lost would read it and would change their mind. By the next verse you can safely assume their romance was spent by the ocean or shoreline of some sort and the person has come back to his senses and metaphorically explains how their love is gone and he really can't change it as bad he wants to. It's all over. The woahs are giant sighs or this pressure being alliviated of the shoulders of a jaded lover.
