Sometimes the grass is greener, because the future seems to predict it.
But, sometimes, the grass is greenest in the past.
The first verse seems to be about him realizing a relationship that was good is now fading. "Carolina" is his utopia, based on other lyrics. The first chorus is about him hoping "she" is looking for him - knowing she isn't.
The second verse is about realizing it's done - he's going to stay strong, but he knows it's his fault. The second chorus is the same as the first, but now he's the one looking.
Finally, he realizes he's thrown away a real chance at happiness by looking for greener grass. But, it's too late, the things that appealed to her just aren't there anymore. Now, it's nothing but regret.
I hate and love this song at the same time for describing some relationships in my past.
