There are two versions of this song. There are minor lyrical differences, such as phrases being switched. I had only known about the acoustic version, but today I just found out about the one off of Something Real. And it's rekindled my love in this band. The piano is fantastic.
Anyways, whichever version you're listening to, the song is obviously about the struggle of picking oneself up after a relationship. I had never thought of it involving a kid, but it does make sense. I think it's about a very messed up relationship, on and off, and the protagonist has finally been convinced it's the end. However, s/he believes s/he'll come back if s/he waits.
I think it deals with the end of true love. Which is why it's so hard understand, since true love never dies.
