Personally I think this song is about what happens when a loved one dies. The first verse is how you assure yourself that they've moved on to a better place.
In the chorus, I don't think that "should we try to get along" means should these two people try to get along with one another, but rather should we try to move on, should we try to press forward in our lives without them.
"We change by the speed of the choices that we make" just means that you'll never move on unless you make the choice to. And the only thing holding you back from moving on with your life is yourself (the barriers are all self-made, that's so retrograde).
Of course it's just my opinion, but that's what I think when I hear the song...that it's about trying to move on in your life without a loved one that just died.
