The "it" is different for everyone who listens to the song, and judging from ayu's use of the word "kore" rather than anything specific, I think that it was done on purpose. If you're dissatisfied about ANYTHING in your life, the world, whatever... you tend to look to the past to find out what went wrong. Ayu is presenting the possibility that what we want can't be found by regretting things and wishing for things to have turned out differently. She seems to be saying that either it lies somewhere in the future and we should work toward it, or there's nothing really wrong to begin with; we're just so caught up in things that we don't realize it.
