I love this song, and not only the lyrics, but the melody is great, also. i think the meaning is pretty straight forward, and i agree with kingdg3 about industrialization moving two people apart. "is it already a quarter to ten, can i drag my body from this bed again..." may not be about the relationship, but the desire for life to be more than a routine, and being sick of working day after day. living such a life naturally tears relationships apart, if they are going in seperate directions in life.
