Now, for a more personal interpretation of this song, since I feel I can really relate to it. Prepare for a lot of drama :P

For almost all of my time at high school (which has now come to an end) I've been in love with a certain girl. I sometimes managed to get over it, but it always came back. I used to be quite an insecure socially awkward dude back then, so contact was hard for me sometimes. And now, I feel as if there were certain signs or opportunities back then, but I didn't do anything with them then.

That's the regret I still cope with and still comes back to me a lot. But, like it is said in the end of the song, "the tide has turned", an opportunity has arisen, so there still is a chance. But until I can take this opportunity, and the possible opportunity that opportunity presents (opportunityception hehe), I still have to live with regret, and maybe even longer if that opportunity won't work.

There, had to spit that out, feels like an appointment with a psychologist, eh? :P
