i think that this song is about young lovers trying to make a relationship work. they were nieve and "grew" a love that was strong but the love faded, possibly from fighting and growing apart like the lyrics do indicate in one section.
it describes that they almost "made it" meaning they probably came close to fixing things but it just wasn't possible. the rest of the sections about "stepping into the light", "no faltering", "other side of the window" all indicate that the writer has moved on and is done with the hard "journey" that was the relationship.
