ill just ignore the obvious hints at 2005 and dive into the meaning of this

i think overall its someone still trying to hold onto a past relationship. trying to reconcile with the past. you keep trying to find something from it to hold onto, but while its keeping you alive, its also driving you crazy then youre slowly coming to terms, both you and the person finding closure with what happened, but you just try and make one last ditch effort to make things better, but you know that you cant go back to what you both once had.
