People have come up with some pretty complicated explinations here.
Personally I think its pretty simple. I think its about someone who has lost their way in life; likely from depression. And they are just trying to find a way back into it but they have forgotten how, even though it was once easy for them "You can't believe it, you were always singing along. It was so easy and the words so sweet."
I know I've felt lost in my own life before and look back at those times in my childhood for example when things just seemed so much easier. I think thats all the song is trying to say.
