I think this song is about how in life we're always moving forwards whether we want to or not. In this the speaker is talking about a girl who for one reason or another has to leave him.
"I want you to stay, and I want you to go"
He needs her but supports her doing whatever it is which is causing her to leave.
After she's gone he wants to be with her.
"I want to be there tonight
I want to get there but it’s just out of sight"
And generally life just keeps flowing, so you need to go along with it.
"So hold on and hold on, it goes on"
