I think it's about a broken home, but I kind of viewed it as if he's taking an outsiders look, or about a child's look at parents that wanted to "stick it out" for the kid.

"Sufficed to say there's a time and a place So I wait For the tug-of-war and who you'll pull for While between you and me from point A to point B is a fine line That burns at both our good ends"

and

"go on, paint the whole town red I'd rather follow who cleans up the mess And so I wait."

I don't know though, it's 3:30 AM and I haven't slept in 23 hours...
