So I've just been through a really tough breakup with my, now ex, girlfriend. I started listening to loads of different music and interpreting so many to be about breakups and people wanting their ex back.
To me, this is that exact situation. In his dreams he is seeing all the memories of his previous relationship and how much he loved his ex smiling at him etc and it does "cut him up" when he realises it's no longer the same anymore. "All the things we had, but never understood" - maybe he was too stupid to realise that she was the girl for him and the "talks we had never did no good" was him trying to get back with her but she's moved on - I can certainly relate to this.
"I just want you to help me, cause you're keeping me up all night" - I often lie in bed for hours just wishing my ex would text me and "I'm so tired of waiting...for nothing",
As someone already pointed out, the 2nd verse regarding drinking into the very early mornings is typical of someone going through a hard and depressive time.
I'm unsure about the bridge but potentially could be him trying to pick up other people in a bar and realising that it's just a failed attempt of a rebound and realises that he's making a mistake and not over his ex fully.
I don't know, that's my interpretation and it speaks to me very clearly in that way. I'd be interested to hear if anyone agrees or disagrees with me! (Feel like a bloody English teacher!)
