This song is about not realizing how much you love someone until they are gone.
If you have seen the video to this song, you will notice its more about the male character having an epiphany on just how much he loves his girlfriend/wife. What I see happening is that he is sitting on the his porch day dreaming. Once the daydream starts you'll notice the ghost figure of himself come out of his body, and the screen gets a black ring around it. The black ring represents that the scenes are all in his day dream he is having. Alot of the "black ring" scenes move in freeze frame further supporting that its a day dream. He goes through the house and notices odd things like the water running and the phone off of the hook. He makes it out back and then sees his girlfriend/wife on the ground aparently after have a serious accident of sorts. Some people see this as her having a miscarriage because she was holding her stomach, but I believe she herself is mortally wounded. The reason I think this is because after the sequence were he is trying to help her, it shows several pictures of her, like he is remembering her. It also shows a scene where he is dresses up in a suit and tie and puts flowers on the chair (the same chair that was shown knocked over in her death scene). I think he is dressed up because he just came back from her funeral to his now empty house.
And then is cuts back to the front porch. The black ring disapears and his girlfriend/wife comes out the front door. After having this day dream he realizes how much she means to him and immediatly hugs her and is happy to see her. Some peopel think she looks pregnant standing up in this scene, but to me, it looks as if the wind was simply blowing up her dress. She looks skinny when she is hugging him. The lyrics and the video work very well together. Very good stuff.
