This is a great site. I love everyone's interpretations but I'm gonna extend it a bit more.
The first Verse-The guy is looking back at some past things he used to do and those things made him happy. He doesn't exactly remember why they made him happy but they did.
CHORUS-The guy maybe has went through a bad break up and then got depressed. He feels he can't move on but eventually does and feels better about things. He sees it has painful but a lesson learned in maturing as a person.He is not afraid to show his emotions and what he is feeling.
2nd Verse-The lines that say lie around, hardly exist, can't tell apart, etc describe his depressive state and that it sometimes still catches him off guard. BUT when the line that says life has a certain ability is how the guy has a different outlook on life ever since. He admits that he still does get sad once in a while but he doesn't let it ruin his life. When people get hurt badly, they are afraid of getting hurt again and sometimes things aren't the same anymore. BUT HE sees that rather of being afraid, you should embrace these experiences(but life has a certian ability or breating new life into me, so i breathe it in) Also that you may have been hurt once but there is still hope for something better, but you can't turn your back on everyone either(and you still can make sense, if you just show up and present an honest face, instead of that grin.
The Last Verse-After seeing life in a different way, he tries applying it. I particularly love the last verse . The main message is the line "Just because it starts differently, doesn't mean its worth less" Neah explained it pretty much although I wouldn't say that he is hesitant. He is just doing his best to move on and be happy and just hopes for the best. I would say this is not a song of regret, but rather a song of self redemption and hope. I would also say that it would be a post-break up song. The whole album is good too. I would say Up Against the Wall is more about regret.
