This song is about break-up of a couple that still love each other but understands their relationship is not working (i think the woman is the one to break up with him) and now, the man tries to get over it while trying to feel these familiar feelings that he felt with his former loved one.

the parts where he says "i felt loved last night... ...but made things so much worse again" are the parts where he possibly dated other woman and thought that he feels something but it wasn't, and only made him feel bad.

the part where he sings "i know you said you'll miss me.. ..cause time is a like a wave.." he realize that time makes us get over things in life and even if she says she'll miss him, he knows after a while she'll get over him.

the part where he sing "i know i said i'll see you when it get to new year...." he wanted to see her again sometime "but now that all the rain stopped falling" - he is over her and stopped crying about her. now he just wants to move on and not go back to those bad places he's been in.

the part of "i know i'de be welcome but tell me how far....i've buried my key" is a bit shady to me, but i see it as if they did meet up again and he feels his heart beating, he knows he still loves her, he knows she doesn't but he just wants to be with her and don't care about his pride. he thinks he's (or maybe he is) not good enough for her and thats it..

amazing song. truly amazing.. btw, i was super stoned when i listened and thought about all the meaning of this song so maybe i got it all wrong but it had a huge impact on me so i had to write it down.
