I don't think this song has to be about a breakup, actually.
It's like this song speaks to me. Here's what meaning the song is to me:
One foot on the bus about half past nine
I knew that you were leaving this time
I thought about laying down in its path
Thinking that you might get off for that
A long lost friend that you wish you could have back is moving. You knew her since you guys were kids, but she changed and drifted away from you. You wish you could somehow stop her from leaving... maybe 'laying down in the path of the bus, thinking she might get off for that...'
I remember that night we laid in bed
Naming all our kids that we hadn't had yet
One for your grandma and one for mine
Said we'd draw straws when it came time
As best friends you'd lay in bed and just chat like the best of friends you two are. Talk about the future and the type of guys you'd want to marry, you'd talk about what names you'd name your kids. The chorus to me says, 'I'll move on just like you did, and hopefully someday I'll forget you and forget all that happened, maybe I'll find someone better.. maybe not... but someday I'll stop loving you, just not right now. (Because you can't get your friend off your mind, and you probably miss her...) Just my interpretation. :)
