His ex-fiance used to be a radio host in Atlanta. Sounds like after the breakup... just passing through Atlanta, maybe hoping to see her. Also, the Atlanta airport is one of the largest in the world. There are a bunch of terminals and you can either take a tram to your terminal or walk through. No one ever walks through, but if you do there is a bunch of sculptures and art to look at as you walk. If you walk the entire way it's like 2-3 miles I think. So I think this song is referencing walking through the empty terminals, contemplating everything about the breakup and not being able to get over his ex-fiance. Pretty sad song.
As far as the meaning... he realizes he messed up, and saying he has to accept grace to get over his mistake. But he doesn't want to keep having to fall back on grace, he wants to become a better person.

One of my favorites on the new CD.
