Again love is the engine for Dylan. I think the song is about realizing that it was a mistake. Nothing got more shiny by meeting each other. things get dull and over-realistic. No dialog - just confrontation. "we weren't made for each other" - so what!
As in "It aint me, babe" (mentioned erlier)the man leaves a relation with pride, not sobbing. This girl was just not IT!
Males can learn a lot from his attitude to relationships. He is not bitter, he doesn't blame himself. He just reasons that this didn't work. No freudian digging, just noticing that our love didn't lift us up; but build us down, and now I have to build it all up again. Hard work - but endurable.
Strong male attitude in these hard times for male strenghts.
What an excellent insight into the song! You said it all perfectly. Simply about saying "Hey things didn't work out!". But I agree, it's about admitting this as a failure, and no sense in beating yourself over it.. It just didn't work. You were both right in the end, neither of you came out on top.

@moonmaan I agree with the 1st part how it didn't work, but he's beating himself up for letting her go. He pushed her away, and once she was gone he never wanted her more. He wants to chase her, but she could be anywhere. The crossroads at his doorstep. Which way should I go? He almost passes out from panicking! Anybody that's ever had their heart broken knows all about the restless hunger feeling. He broke her heart and she broke his by leaving.
