I read an interview with Jim Cuddy (the singer/songwriter) that said this song is literally about bad timing...how sometimes you are presented with a relationship opportunity, but due to the need to keep moving with your life (in this case, being a traveling musician who must keep at it on the road) is sometimes more important than stopping and taking the time to honor the opportunity that is right in front of you. That it is tempting sometimes to try to "reconnect" with that certain person who you've had this opportunity with, but if the timing isn't right, it can end up opening up old wounds and causing pain for both parties involved.
