My initial interpretation of this song was it being about a relationship where as in both people are not willing to "give up" or "walk away" due to how much potential and possibility the relationship has, or possibly because the people love each other too much to. Possibly Chinatown being where the people met, or knew each other, or probably something else symbolic.
However it sounds like the song might actually have more to it; I just can't decipher it. But my initial guess was the relationship and the not being able to leave it due to it's potential.
