This is one of the few songs which I can just listen to repeatedly. I cannot put a firm interpretation on it, other than that I think the persona singing wishes that they had done something better out of their life. I feel this is backed up in the music video where the bloke is shown to be a bus driver which isn't exactly the best job in the world, so he wishes he had become something better and everyone knew him by a "different name", not just a bus driver.
