I don't know anything for certain, but it sounds like a mental reflection on a divorce. The first three lines would be the children comparing and deciding with whom they want to live. The second verse would be a parallel of how the children's toys won't stay together, much like their parents' relationship.
The chorus, then, is an ironic recollection of how they always felt close because of the way they held hands, but now the road only serves as a strectch of separation.
The middle section is a bit hazy, but the fourth verse is an allusion: even though they didn't want anything to change, they realized that wishing could not take them to any place but where they were.
