I think this is a song from the viewpoint of someone whose partner is feeling trapped and thinking what a big world it is and what else they could be doing. The singer wants to continue the relationship but understands the need to go. However he wants to stay together - "And if I could..." is him clasping at straws.
The phrase 'Two Christophers in the snow' maybe references the patron saint of the travellers - Saint Christopher.
