Seems to me that this song is about becoming complacent with a new situation, be it a relationship, or something else.
The line "and you thought that these times were just ordinary" brings it home and snaps the title into sharp focus. It's not uncommon for children to think that old television shows were filmed in a time before there was color. In the same way, the subject of the song naively believes that their complacency is something ordinary: uncomfortable, but to be expected, and not fought against.
