The song laments what could have been a love that is now lost. The singer wonders how everything went wrong and blames themselves for giving up and leaving their partner for a "nowhere-bound train". Now that the train has passed, they close their eyes and see their partner lying in bed, still dreaming of them. The chorus expresses that the love they could have shared should have been meant to be, but the singer didn't see what was right in front of them until they were alone with only emptiness from being free.
