I think this song uses skydiving as metaphor for a marriage (or possibly a romance) that although was short-lived, they were a better person for it. Some say it's better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all. It seems that they are trying to get that across with this line: "But what I had between the things I never tried Was you reaching out in hopes to hold your hand [...]I'd say I'm better 'cause I lived before I died.
At least I know you tried"
