The meaning of the song is apparent in the first two verses of the song. The two have drifted apart but still cant seem to forget each other. The man has been more successful moving on, but this is just a facade. Even while with other girls, he is always peering over at her. The girl has a different story. She cant bring herself to take the same route as the man (being in another relationship). Even though there was a breakup, she had never meant for it to be a permanent goodbye. The man knows this is troubled by it. If she had been more resolute with her feelings, he would have had an easier time moving on. The linger hope the two have for each other being together prevents them from truly moving forward.
