To me, Howard is looking back on a past relationship with someone that he deeply loved and cared about. Although he cared for this person, their relationship was filled with fights none the less. Howard may of taken for granted his relationship with this person... He remembers fine details like "you were in the kitchen" and his love saying "only time is ours". But suddenly as he is recalling the memories, he can't remember a detail. He forgets where they were.
This song is about slowly moving on. Slowly forgetting a past love and realizing that you are moving on. There are feelings on sadness and regret, and a little bit of shock that he can't recall a certain moment that you once held close to you. Its about forgetting, regardless of the fact you are ready to or not.
