I hope that my offering of another view doesn't upset the others here, but I'm like 90% sure…
1) He’s talking about marriage (or something like that); His love for his new wife(lover), her love for him and the wonder that is this time.
2) Then something happened. And he’s not quite sure what it is. But he would truly like some clarity., but recognizes that he'll never get it because, at this point, they don't agree on anything.
3) He begs her to come back. He'll take her in any way he can have her, forget the circumstance that holds them apart. He's forgiven her for everything she's ever done.
4) He even tries to apologize for what he can see he’s done wrong.
5) The thing that had grown so beautifully to start has now become nothing more than an absurd dying weed. He’s ruined her. He recognizes she will have nothing to do with him.
6) He goes back to where everything began (hometown probably) and tried to get over her. But he’s so torn apart by what he’s done that his heart hurts, mind and very soul are raging inside him.
7) He’s still fighting with his love for her- He even goes so far as to ask God to change him back in to the man she fell in love with. He’s willing to go through anything to get her back.
~I've heard this argument before, because I've gone through something like this, but not in his place. In my scenario- I’m her.
I don't care if you're right or wrong, but I think you are spot on with your interpretation because of the last sentence in his song. I created an account just to say your explanation was so truly beautiful... and I'm out.

I'm sorry, but I think this song has nothing to do with a woman he loved and such, but it's about his journey of self-realization and going back to the simple self he is happy to be. I think Jarbarhead is much more on track. It is sort of looking back into your childhood and seeing how simple and sweet things were. But then, he began pondering about life and what could be of it, causing him to feel empty, yearning and dissatisfied...."throw stones at the sky but the whole sky fell."....And you sent me back...

Now I know. implies he is "put back to his place".....humbled and one with his mind and universe, untainted by the temptations and desires that make people hollow. The very end....turn this diamond back into coal, he yearns to be back to where he started, childlike and free of mind, blissful and uncluttered with what we all adults go thru. Coal being the most simple carbon as oppose to diamond the most expensive form of carbon, he opts for the simple innocence of childhood rather then the complexity of chasing the rat wheel we all are familiar with.
homewreck, the more I listen to the lyrics, the more I think you and jabar is right. I think my bruised self wanted to believe in iwishiwere's heart felt explanation.
