I attached myself to this song not long after I started a divorce. The emotion, memories, self-blame, and forgiveness all wrapped up in a nice package resonated perfectly with my own feelings.
I agre wtih mouchoirs interpretation for the most part. I also agree with the low moods in December as well as that being a new beginning - what with the days beginning to get longer again.
The relationship is over, and most of him knows it, but the longing wont go away; and yet, a dip in the ocean might help life seem to move forward, at least for another day.
The Hillside Manor part is not a talk with the old flame, it's with a friend he can talk with about it all.
Also the futility of trying to "hold on to these moments as they pass" is both a longing I share and something I know can't ever be attained - a romantic fools-errand, but in modelin moments, also something that one needs to cling to to put some value into all the effort that went into the relationship (cause it can't just be wasted time - can it?).
