this song is a memory
the lyrics are not actually what was said at the time
they convey the chronology of his memory
essentially:
when he thinks of his break up, he thinks of walking with her in the snow-->
the essence of their conversation--> when they parted ways (Running Home)-->
a few of her last words
him: seek the light = change your mind girl
her: ...my knees are cold = I'm making an excuse to leave now
the last line simply means their lives went separate directions
