hm come to think of it ive always taken the first part quite literarilly, which i dont mind- i think its a strong scene shes describing even if you dont take it as a metaphore. Her walking in on her lover kissing someone else, complete with her walking out of there split seconds later into the cold, harsh reality; no intention of ever taking the cheating partner back and aknowledging the definity of the loss (where your hands were missing).
Ive interpreted the rest of the song as thoughts, observations and flashbacks walking away, trying to digest what she just saw (something's been rearranged). In the end of the song she is regretfully missing what she has lost: the possibility of making up (substituting the conclusion of confrontation with a kiss) and the leap of faith that she will no longer take, thinking she has a future with this person (walking up to the edge and jumping in like i could taste the future on your skin)
