I love this song, and I tried to figure out what the creator thought when he wrote it. And as I read the comments here, and read the lyrics again, bang! it just hit me. So here is my theory(:
"Call all your friends
And tell them I'm never coming back
'Cause this is the end
Pretend that you want it
Don't react
The damage is done
The police are coming too slow now
I would have died
I would have loved you all my life"
Guy did something that is against the law (or is accused with sg), girl is pissed and disappointed, obviously still loves the guy, but she's hurt. The guy is devastated, he would have done anything for the girl, but now his life is ending as he knows it.
"You're losing your memory now"
The chorus either means that the girl wants to forget, or simply is forgetting the good times, and in her eyes he's becoming only a criminal.
"Where have you gone?
The beach is so cold in winter here
And where have I gone?
I wake in Montauk..."
Guy comes out of jail, of course they went separate ways. But he couldn't forget the girl, still loves her.
The rest of the song can mean a happy ending: girl no matter how hard she tried couldn't forget him either, they meet "I wake in Montauk with you near" and "You're losing your memory now", meaning she's now forgetting all that happened, and they are starting over "Just remember who I am in the morning"

But it can be all just a dream, so a sad ending.
