To me, the song seems to be in the perspective of someone who was broken up with but still loves their ex. They know that their ex is moving on without them but the narrator would rather still be together in a loving relationship. The relationship didn't end in vein but in order to properly move on they have to split. The narrator knows that despite all the great memories, trying to salvage the relationship would result in a nasty breakup. Sometimes, you have to give up and accept fate. Ween paints this message in this beautiful three-minute and twenty-six-second masterpiece of a song.
