The singer is probably cleaning up his attic or basement. When he gets to the photographs, he just feels lost. He can't remember what's going on in some of them, and when he does, it all just like a blur. That's what I get from the chorus anyway. He gets to a letter written by someone he must have cared about, but the relationship didn't really work. Whether it's a spouse, or someone else isn't made clear. In the last verse, the singer is totally drunk, and someone has probably found him looking at the photos. End.
