This song is awesome. I can't stop singing it. I think It's about somebody who loves another, but the other seems to be pursuing somebody else. Meanwhile, he's saying, maybe you're wrong, maybe you love me -- the other thinks "it's all wonderful" and that they have it all, but really he can see right through to how empty what she's chasing is.

About the son and child thing, I think it's figurative for saying he's an older love (so a more grown-up son) and the other is this new fling (a child). Also it could just be that she thinks it's gotten old with him, and she wants to go after something new.

I can relate about the "but you're over it all" part. Sometimes you see something happen and you tell yourself, "that's not me, I would never do that, I'm different", and so you disregard completely that you could be like that. But in reality, when you're put in a certain situation, you fall into exactly the same pitfalls.

Love is blind.
