Cette chanson évoque le chagrin et la mélancolie face à la perte d'un être cher, tout en explorant des sentiments de regret et d'angoisse. Le narrateur se débat avec son incapacité à exprimer pleinement son amour et à surmonter la douleur des souvenirs. Il parle de mouvements constants, tant sur le plan émotionnel que géographique, et de l'ombre que le départ de l'autre laisse dans sa vie. Le contexte semble se situer dans un moment de réflexion après une disparition tragique, où les souvenirs affluent et la réalité pèse lourdement. Le passage du temps et l'impuissance face à la perte sont des thèmes centraux, illustrant une lutte intérieure profonde. Les images de San Francisco et d'un matin froid accentuent ce sentiment de solitude et de désespoir.
