To me, this song is clearly about a relationship in which they want to be with each other, but sacrifice their dreams in order to do so. He wants to be a sailor, she wants to be a dancer, but they change in order to make the relationship work. They are two people that are very different from each other and were never truly meant to be together, but yet they want or need to be.
"All we are and all we want
40 years come and gone
All we are in photographs
Will never be taken "
The photos will never be taken because they never followed their dreams.
"Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want you here"
Yet they are sure that it is worth giving up their dreams to be with eachother.
