I think this one is about the collapse of one relationship and the despair / apprehension over having to start over again--something that gets harder and harder as you get older. The beginning talks of the breakup / time running out. Then he talks of how he is unprepared to go on the journey again. Seeking new life could be finding someone else. And at the end he mentions how he wants to pluck her from the wolves, perhaps save her from some situation and be something important to her. And the last bit about hearts seems to talk of a joining of the two (two arteries flow with the pulse of one mighty heart).
I always thought he was saying "I saved your life" instead of seeking new life, but whatever.
I don't specifically know what the title of the song refers to, but I've always had the feeling it had to do with a short amount of time affecting a longer amount of time. That is, in a mere 20 minutes, the next 40 years of your life can be changed :(
