So what do you guys think this is about? I think it's about a lost child. Ergo, a baby (the "wrinkles on your skin", etc) that died within a short time after birth. He makes it sound as if he was so ecstatic when she was living but now that she's gone he's upset (obviously). He knows she's in Heaven, hence the "the next best thing...is knowing where you are" and "I cannot cross the chasm". Nice tidbit added between the songs though.
