I do not know what this song is about and maybe my analysis is completetly wrong...
I think it is a song about the lost emotion. About the dreams and the hopes, the love and the laughter that in time have been replaced by an everyday ritual of "doing our jobs" and moaning.
He remembers the day they were in love and didn't care for anything else. He remembers the girl as an image of light and joy and now he searches for that girl which is no longer here.
And he knows that she accuses him for that as well as he accuses her. But still they are in love or at least he believes so, and all they need to do is remember their love remember the way to be in love and playful again.
That is why he repeatedly pleads "wake up my love..."
For me this is a song of desperation and of love trying to surpass the desperation.
But as I said this might be, probably is, completely wrong
