I think it might be about how you choose how you live in life. like sometimes bad things happen and how you deal with them determines who you are and you only get one chance. like the killer thinks he doesnt have a conscience yet hes crying, and the dying father sighs. they wish they had made different choices. the girl on the front steps is the effect of someone making a bad choice (her father). also in the original recording of the song theres an extra part to the first verse that goes:
"A tired man lays wondering why
his family sits scattered outside.
and as they all smile and converse
this man, softly slips away from this world"
they just wish they had more time to make things right. "someday, ohh ill make time" they're saying someday they'll have all the time they need, but tonight they just dont have enough. at least thats what i think anyway
