I think this song is about just war in general. The people involved in the war, either fighting or hiding or whatnot cannot live a normal life. They have to be fleeing, or fighting, or what have you. Well, wars can go on for years.
"All those wasted years"
And then, who will pay for those wasted years? Who's to blame? We can try to buy back the time, but that won't do too much good. We could blame the other country, but that might just lead to another war. So, do we just have to forgive and forget this ever happened?

"Yes I guess we do."
