Lyric discussion by FourRunner72 

Cover art for Stolen Car lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

what they thought was true love changed for the worse as they grew apart in time he is not blaming her or himself, but instead an outside force that tore them apart he didn't actually steal a car...it is a metaphor..he doesn't feel connected to her anymore and is doing something he knows is wrong and hopes someone will just put an end to it, implying he can't stop it himself

his wife is acknowledging that their love is not what it once was and seems like ages since it felt strong

he continues on...and he hopes he will be ok but he is ashamed of what he is doing and is afraid that he will lose sight of the person that he once was
