I thought this song is about the longing for someone who is unobtainable. It seems like he wants to be with her and she can't commit or keeps changing her mind and he keeps getting hurt and going back.
"That's a frosty way to speak, To tell me how to live next to your potpourri" -maybe she's suggesting that they should remain friends and he doesn't think it's possible to be near her with his strong feelings. I think he wants her even though he knows he shouldn't. He's crying to God to get his sanity back..
He's being played.
I sympathize with this meaning more, so I'm going to agree with you. The two of them had history, "a name to call you", and now that it's no longer possible, he longs "for the same old things that turn me inside out."

I could be completely wrong.
