It's about recognizing the opportunity to move on and taking the chance on that opportunity. The song is well written and well hidden in meaning.. It could be anywhere but I think I'm on the right track. "Stepping along the hum of the sidewalk, A marionette, a slave. Your legs are wood and tied to the city.

How many relationships start off great and then fizzle out - boredom, complacency... "Match made was made in a moment" - yeah, that first moment when everything is exciting and new... That moment does pass oh too quickly!
