I think the speaker is in denial. He is remembering good times he had with a girl that he loves very much, but feels that his relationship with her is falling apart and he is trying to convince himself that its not over. The following phrases in the lyrics "but I know that you can't be mine, by the way you've always been" and "mabye we were vicitims of all the foolish plans" suggest that deep down he knows that it really is "good-bye". "Maybe we were victims of all the foolish plans" also suggests that they ignored problems they had in their relationship and just passed them off as "just where love goes" and that "as long as we've got time" they can fix these problems. But really if they stayed together, they would be spending more time fixing their problems then enjoying eachother because "words aren't warm enough to keep away the cold".
