Beautiful song. It's about a relationship that is starting to come undone, with all the secrets that both people are keeping from each other. They're not quite suited for each other, which is what the parts about whether people can change are about. The narrator wants to make the relationship work and hates to see that they are drifting apart. He also feels guilty for saying something that hurt the other person, which is probably where the conflict came from in the first place.
I know Billy is married and has a kid, but does he ever talk about having a wife?
