I agree that this song is about the writer's regret at a past decision to end a relationship. Each verse is a poetic description of the misery caused by the "indecision" that put him in his depressed state of mind. At 7a.m. he is romantically reminiscing his relationship, which is something we all do, remembering the good times in a way that makes him regret his decision. At 11a.m. a familiar fear keeps him in bed shaded from the light that will illuminate his regretful actions. During every chorus he is trying to reassure himself that "you're always first when no one is one your side," which to me means that there's nobody to be conscious of in your daily life other than yourself when you do not have a significant other, which can be nice at times. All you have to do is worry about yourself. But at 12 the phone rings making him realize he still misses this person and that he no longer wants to "ride" alone.
