I heard Brian talk a little about this track (it's been awhile, so I may not have the word-for-word interpretation) but from what I remember he said that it was just about that feeling you have when a relationship ends, and you sorta go through the seasons.
When you're happy in the relationship, you have the summer. The relationship dies in the fall, and you're left alone with the dead of winter to deal with it, but you know that once spring comes again everything will be okay.
