Only recently did I discover this song and I've found many topics of conversation by scrolling through song lyrics on this site, so I thought, as this song barely has any interpretations I'd give it a shot.
The person in the song is thinking. He is empathetic, fairly extraverted, truthful and kind. This is why he talks to people as if he knew them well and I see him as someone whose appearance to an event makes people happy, tons of smiles around when he speaks to the neighbours and others, who he knows but he doesn't necessarily "know". He understands that everyone goes through their own struggles in life and doesn't think that he has things bad.
However, he is not totally content with life either way, even if it may appear so from his talkative and positive nature. He once had someone he loved but the love either didn't blossom or was onesided. Whenever he is alone he doesn't feel complete, maybe the person he still lingers on could have filled that hole but now things feel meaningless whenever he isn't doing something to take his mind off it.
They aren't a weak person, even though they may see themselves as one. Everyone else sees them as reliable and good company, so even though he may be down when alone, he will always land on his feet. He is someone who you know will be fine. He is someone who doesn't let others down. At least usually with maybe the exception of her.
While melancholic he dreams about her and sees her as someone who cares for others, someone better. He recognizes there are other things than her and he sees his positive effect on others but it doesn't feel the same.
In the end he leaves a positive note, because that is what he is really like. He is usually someone positive and he wouldn't want someone worrying about him. That is why the end ponders on possibilities in the future where maybe he finds someone else as warm and sunny as her. This is left vague because in reality he is still sad and doubts it will happen.
Maybe I reach a little bit too much but this is the feeling I get about the person in the song whenever I hear it.
